Egotism Poem by Floyd Crenshaw

Egotism

Rating: 5.0


some days
i throw my
phone away.

well,
in my sock drawer...

some times
the next day
i get this
real feeling
that i am not
wanted
or needed.

the ability to set the
ego aside
and sober up.

it is embarrassing
to think it
and admit it,
but the truth is
this happens weekly
and sometimes,
i feel,
it should happen
daily.

some how it will
make me better
appreciate
the few times
i go for socks
and the drawer
vibrates with possibility.

Such a bullseye for you, every time. You've always got this final line, a point insight appearing and pinning it together. I've been having those days frequently and I really adored having a new way to look at them. X's and O's

I love your sense of humour well composed into the depth of wondering about wantong to be alone... I like the end - it's hilarious :) 'vibrating socks' Lolololololol I've heard once somebody was trying to dry their socks in a microwave hehehe...but that's a bit different story :) Great write! Thank you for sharing :)
