The "Me" Anti-Ode

"Me" said the therapist
Focus on the "Me"
"Me?" But I'm a mom
How can I be "Me!"
I gotta forsake "Me!"
I gotta neglect "Me!"

We all know
Without a happy "Me"
There can't be a gleeful "anyone"
"Me" is the basis of all bases
It all starts with "Me"
And goes on from there
The therapist advised
I complied

Dire consequences
ensued

A vicious cycle
I got engrossed in "Me"
The "Me" envelops and engulfs
Turning "Me" into a self-absorbed
Egotistical "Me"
And the "Me" is now
"Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me!"


While the new "Me"
All happy and glee
The people
around "Me"
Internalized themselves
Coz "Me"
Demanding and boisterous
Allowed no one
To be their own "Me"
Just
"Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me"

Despicable

Despicable...
Is the word...
Take my word.

Despicable...
Is the man...
Who takes command...
And demands.

Despicable..
If it be...
Taking things...
In his hands...
And never...
Granted stands.

Despicable...
Sad to say...
Though obey...
Still in fray...

Despicable...
Ever so tired...
This dire desolation...
This heinous calamity...
And this depiction...
Of (my) life!
