The Ego

the ego
is a twisted thing,
like an anchor
with no string.

rooted deep
in silent fears,
whispering doubts
through passing years.

each echo,
like a spider’s thread,
binds the heart
in chilling dread.

it weaves a web
of cruel disguise,
twisting truths
with hollow lies.

yet in the silence,
stillness calls —
a quiet hymn
beyond the walls.

wisdom rises
like morning’s glow,
soft and sure,
it begins to flow.

no longer whispers,
but a steady stream —
a truth unveiled,
no longer a dream.

the heart ascends —
untethered, free,
released from
ego’s tyranny.

for within the quiet,
love takes flight,
unveiling stars
that pierce the night.

in the depths of self,
a garden grows;
where doubt once lived,
now beauty shows.

the heart, unbound,
begins to sing —
a fearless soul
on love’s own wing.
