Ego Gone Mad – Written Monday 14th January 2020 (Aged 44)

Ego Gone Mad

ego gone mad
insanity looks sad
fragility
needs a bag
self esteem drinks too much
it is either, ‘one of the lads’
or a women’s longing for a comforting touch

sadness pushes on
in karaoke bars
where no one knows the song
confidence is out on the town
but it waits too long
in the office of the lost and found

love dresses up as desire
as it runs around
just starting fires
often ones that cannot be controlled
every opinion
has to come in from the cold
ego gone mad




James Garratt – Monday 14th January 2020
