Be Not Fooled

Mind you the false ego that my self displays? Mind you it and abhor you it? Pray, be not fooled by what you see Remember what seems to be may not be it Rather, learn to wage your way through the vines That have invaded my whole castle Learn to cut them down and to find the key To the closed door, as, like Sleeping Beauty, All do sleep in my reality All do sleep, cursed by their own fate, Oblivious to their surroundings, lost in their own Dreary dreams! When you reach my dozing self, Pray, do handle it as if it were a mirror One, easily broken if mishandled But one, in which you shall see reflected Not only your self, but also your meaning In this uncertainly revolving mess! Pray, be not fooled by the false ego that I display The depth of my inner pools are far too abysmal To be able to contain any sort of pride Over a body which is doomed to disappear someday! Like me, learn to sit still, learn to shed off the unnecessary Before taking the plunge in the depth of your own pool Only then shall you understand about futility and falsity!
