My Ego

Lonely girl;
new town;
strange people
bringing her down;

Trying to keep
her spirits high,
she searches to find
a new life.

Then, he's there
at her feet.
The same questions,
he repeats.

Alhough agreeing
would not be right,
his asking makes her
smile so bright.

Through thick and thin,
up and down,
five years later,
he's still around.

A friendship bond
that's one-of-a-kind;
fun and special
hard to find.

After all this time,
he still touches deep.
He's always boosted
her self-esteem.

You are my ego.
Who knows what I'd be
without you.
I cannot see.

You are my ego,
but also my friend;
close to my heart
until the end.

You are my ego.
I owe you my confidence.
It's you I'm indebted to
for pride and self-acceptance.
