The Ego
When I saw myself
for the very first time
my face was the same

but mine eyes
I had never seen them before,
my thirst for righteousness led me to the
underbelly of man’s consciousness where
I met the ego
The ego
be aware of me
I create illusions
I draw the last breath from your body
and watch in absolute delight
as you dwindle into the shadows,
I become your sole confidant
whispering to you since birth
I am the parasite that sucks your innate knowledge
replacing it with a testimony of untruths,
you diminish in stature whilst I, your nemesis
become your hero whom you worship adoringly,
I am the ego be aware of me
bring me your afflictions
I multiply them tenfold,
your reality, sense of self and I
make an unholy alliance
enslaving you to mind
pleasure me
and I fill you with self-worth
then turn it against you
as the loathsome feeling of vanity
i am… beauty
when looked at through Divine eyes
mirrors ugliness impossible to wash away
I am the beast driving you to madness
believe in me
and live hell here on earth
rid yourself of me,
be blessed with eternal life
the ego, be aware of me,
I stain your soul
