Ego

Listen I’m screaming
You can’t hear a word
It’s coming from below
Oh wait absurd
You can’t even see me
I’m not even there
I assure you I am
But your nose is in the air
You’re on another level
Above us all
I’m the one that you stepped on
One day you will fall
It must be nice
You know to be in the top caste
Put before everyone
While I sit in last
You work half as hard
But get twice as far
It doesn’t make sense
But hey you’re a star
It’s not what you know
But rather who
My day will come
But I won’t step on you
I’ll just saw down your ladder
Look you eye to eye
Try to see for myself
What got you so high
I’ll then walk away
But surly I’ll grin
Because when we become equal
Is the moment I win

I enjoyed this, but I am not sure what it's about.  Maybe you could clear it up.  I think it's about your being confident of yourself?  Something along those lines?

its about the people in life that get by through doing nothing, while others work hard and get less. But in the end, hard work pays off when the person with the ego fails, and you surpass them.

Welcome to pip! I really enjoyed this, the begining threw me off a little bit cause it was a little choppy but overall the poem was beautiful and your meaning is a very good one, hard work always pays off and good things come to those who wait. Lovely first post I hope you have a long happy stay here with us! Check your email for a specail note!

Because of you I laugh a little harder, smile a little more, and cry a little less
