The Ego

Society has held us captive Discounting our own perspectives Our individuality’s defined Our personalities – entwined We strive for power and control And wealth and riches are our goal We scrape and struggle to succeed To the collective, we concede We look to others for direction Accept their words without direction Our lives are wrapped up in our titles And our identity is stifled But what would happen if it’s finished Are our triumphs more diminished? When we’re stripped of our old roles What will our destiny behold? Our lives are more than we believe And that our senses could perceive Our posts are brief, but our purpose’s huge While we submit to subterfuge So we defer to deeper plans And see life through a wider lens Embracing growth as more diverse Our novel conclusions, we’ll disperse
