the ego

the ego lies within your head
it lies to you and lies in bed
pretends to be your deepest self
while being pure absence instead.

the ego wants all your respect
but you must stop and face with dead.
no mind in chains no prison, yet,
’cause ego fights without regret.

there’re enemies all armed like hell
but noone ever got inside
to battle you, but ego might.
to do so when it leads your will -

your will to thrill and so to push
yourself the centre of the worlds.
feels good while being caught in rush
and infect whole with selfish words.

but ego is what others give
it is their life by whom it lives.
think, without them and selfless gift
the ego hardly would exist.

so ego’s fault is to forget
the roots and base on which it’s set.
forgive ego, forgive you
and try again, you ego fool.
