ego.

what is the use of the human ego?
i do not care about all of your lessons that you've read on sociology.
doctrines or graduate programs, pages of literature, dismal language that you worship.
human experience is what will best teach us.
you have a frail ego and i, a frail heart.
what to make of that?
one of us will always remain shattered then-and so far, it's always been some rough start and/or constant fight with one another.
i'm tired.

Freud, if you are still around these parts-
tell me,
how can one lose that distorted sense of self?
