I am an egomaniac, babe,
Didn’t you know?
I’d rather hurt myself,
Than hurt my ego.
I’m an egomaniac, babe,
Didn’t you know?
I’d rather snap the thread between us,
Than snap my ego.
I’m an egomaniac, babe,
Didn’t you know?
I’d rather let things fall through,
Than fall out of my ego.
I’m an egomaniac babe,
Didn’t you know?
I’d rather talk nonsense,
Than talk myself out of my ego.

PS: It’s just that at some point in our lives we all behave like egomaniacs. I do so too, but am confused if it always has a negative impact. Can it bring something positive to us?

The poem was really good and yeah, sometimes we behave like this. Although in the long run, it will leave a negative impact.

Thank you! 🙂
Yes, it will leave a negative impact in the long run. But, what about the relations that are doing nothing but bringing negativity? Isn’t it smart to act like an egomaniac? To stay away from those situations..

If the relations are bringing negativity, it’s time to shun those relations. Yes, being egomaniac will help them. Agreed.

You put it in words in a very impressive way! We all become egoistic at some point but we should try to control this tendency becoming a permanant habit! Ego should not be a cause of ending relations!
