i against i

It all starts with the I-word.
I am tired.
I am depressed.
I am hungry.
I want to go skateboarding.
The I is always wanting,
Always needing.
I want to be comforted,
I want to be nourished,
I need gratification right now!
There is always something,
The I is never at rest,
The I is never satisfied.
I need to sleep,
I need to eat,
I need to do something . . .
How do I shut out the I?
How do I ignore the I?
I am going to ignore the I.
I against I.
I need I to shut up,
I need to live I-less,
No more demands from I.
Cross out the I’s.
Drown out the I’s.
And just be.
And just live.
And just . . .
