I Cannot Go Beyond Myself

I cannot go beyond myself 

I cannot go beyond myself 
Where lies perfection flat and 
Circles round the seed of success 
I remain within my stale square box 
No matter how much I try my best 
I squarely fall flat upon my base and 
Move round a centre people call  it apex 
Yet I could not get out from this stalemate 
The same strange odd stench I inhale 
No perfume or scent I get fresh one or new 
But my dear people affectionately say 
This is entirely my one sided view 
The other side of mine remain black 
Reason, I cannot go beyond myself 
Limited I lay whatever are vast and 
Great, humbly I left those all to you 
The same kind of old and cliché I express 
I repeat the same me and myself 
As I cannot go what I am not 
And air only my point of view 
As I do not know what are yours.
