The Thing Within Us

our innate desires,
the yearnings 
that we grip so hard
we soon become disturbed 
from a query within,
risen due to an insufficient ego.
satiated through any form
it will force us to wonder 
how we are supposed to act
now that we think 
we know something 
about ourselves...and others,
we did not before.
what we never seem to know is 
we will not learn anything until
we remaster our old self again
engaging it
through our new self
