The Poet's Ego
I have found no understanding of why
Or any truth to all that is or was
Grow distant from each day that passes by
And wear cloth woven from what my mind does
It chooses visions from the past to cease
With answers to questions, I can absorb
To expose a dark soul, I know the least
Chained in the abyss of yesterday's orb
My ego will not be fuel to consume
Nor complain that I've given it no worth
The cause and reasons that make it immune
Are from years I've spent since my birth
This insight I share as to what and why
Reveals an ego I won't glorify
