Ego
I don't want to kill it
I wanna go through it
See beyond it
And accept it.
I don't wanna lose it.
I just wanna hold it,
Tell it it's ok
But I can't take it.
I can't take the fact
That it controls me.
Ruins my relations
And makes me fake it.
What I want?
I want to take it's hand
Like a rejected child's
That everyone told to shut up.
I wanna sit beside it,
Give it a reason,
Like something unknown,
And say it has no right...
To control all that exists,
Control everything I miss,
Control everyone I love,
Give it a word or two...
But not more.
Cause a human is...
Way more than ego.
Way more than
Reaction, rejection, affection.
A human being is
A mix.
A human being is all
that exists - in our heads.
We call ourselves gods in so many ways.
We made up gods so we're not so scared.
But we should grasp that fear.
See beyond it,
accept it.
And overcome.
See beyond it - cause we're not in control.
