this beautiful ego even at birth

demands attention instinctively

why wouldn't the baby need all 

eyes on themselves

the child's nature blossoms with

age to feel empowered when he  

is now the center of attention

and love brews in the child's

independent verse, suspicions

blinds us into silence waiting 

for their revealing acceptance 

without walking a tight rope

disappearing personalities tired

mind and aching bones

sitting at the table staring at hands

worn enclosed and broken 

personality only darkness remains

for we all are seeking falsehoods

worn calloused and broken apart

your personality believes in dark

remains, a slight breeze enters the

open curtains and moves as if it

has purpose as thoughts drift on

memories past, the lingering

pleasure replaced by the sinking

malaise of non-caring, a living

unworthy of your once openness

now your anxiety propels you to 

advance beyond your thoughts

evaporating, abandoned and left

as rubbish as one limits his only

opportunities turning at the light

to go home to a family that is

starving in an illusion of faith

let go into the depths of an open

dream, a heart intuitive to its

only purpose for it is all nonsense

in this entrapment with only 

one that will escape, why eat and

dress at the conclusion of your life

your ready to travel, waiting for

your final breath as you descend

with wings open and the darkness

awaits the becoming seed
