Understanding ourselves is a wonderful truth.
A jagged mirror posited a torn clueless identity.
Pals left me as a yore youth with a magic tooth.
I feed my fears till they fade, leaving me futility.
The stud concept is flawed—for screaming loud.
In retrospect, this location reveals a lot of sounds.
The ego is beyond what shows in a mirror shroud.
Such strangling shadows in the quagmire of love
I am still alive—such a steam vapor from above.
From mockery and uproar to the rising shove
Is life joy— or only a shipwreck with no smooth?
If the wind is right, just sail toward serenity.
A blameless man rose up among the crowd,
Ego and soul fit each other as hands in glove.
