My Voice. VS. Your Ego

I am matter that bespeaks
but too inarticulate to express
though I try with conviction
and exert aggressively
my mind, body and soul,
to express myself
and my ideas
that believe so strongly in.

I try
so that I am noticed by you,
but what you think
matters more to you
and your actions,
to what i believe so strongly in
are simple and swift
- you so aggressively and tragically chop them down!

I suffer
the humiliation
of my inarticulate self becoming
more disarticulate.
What I suffer will always
have nothing to do with you.

Options, I have none...
but had I one
It would be
to chop down
Your Inflated Ego,


The meaning of this poem is frustration. Usually in life everyone has had some frustration at some time. In school, the frustration can be v=caused by teachers or peers who don"t see the point of view of the writer. In later life, it is caused by people who have power, like policemen, employers, the government, etc.

Most often when ones view is not seen, or voice not heard, that person is

frustrated. The person may feel like taking extreme action like "chopping down ones ego."
