The arrogant ‘I’



When you don’t want to be

bothered to understand

circulating your judgments

Asking,

With a superior tone

“Who you think you are?”



~*~



The insignificant “me”

The one you are not

Used to hear from

The one

Who needs to remind you

All the times,

I am here,

And I do matter.

the one,

Who need to use all

The possible “I”s

To transcribe for you

How it feels

“You” how "she" perceives



~*~



From humiliating the “I,”

You get your satisfaction,

To prove who you are?

It bothers you so much

When I think?

You'd rather think for me

Decided on my behalf

Insert in me all your fears

To ease your insecurities



~*~



The true arrogance, "Sir,"

Was your question

In the first place.

Arrogance happens when the pedalum of confidence
swings too far to the left. It is akin to pride,
immodesty, haughtiness and other social sins.
