About This Quote
I don't know about your true form, but the weight of your ego sure is pushing the crust of the earth toward the breaking point. Though this poem may be thought of as one-sided, the idea of self-importance is one that almost all people can relate to. If you are constantly concerned with how others view you, then you are probably suffering from some sort of self-importance. This is especially true if you are unable to change or improve yourself in any meaningful way.
