My experience with ego

I see an unfamiliar path

I sense a deep curiosity

I wish to go and explore

To discover and experience those unknowns

"Stop and stay!🤨 "orders an authoritative ego

I fight, rebel and move more

"Look at the comforts we have!🤗" displays a manipulative ego

Momentarily attracted but letting go,

I smile and wave it off, moving on more

"You will lose your identity!😠" warns a threatened ego

I contemplate, shrug and go on, seeking the unknown

"Don't leave me alone!!😭" pleads a scared ego

I look at it compassionately, grateful for its duty done, but hastening further, I go on

"You've made me break!😖" yells a broken, shattered ego

I empathize with it, acknowledge its pain, and move on

"Who am I ?😵" whimpers a nonexistent ego

I leave it alone to its questions, moving on

Lo behold, the path that hath unfolded,

Seemingly long, tiring and infinite before me

Now dissolves into a fantastic, unimaginable source of light

No longer waiting for but seeking me

"How did this happen?" I think idly

An answer issues from the light beautifully

The journey wasn't towards me outwards

But towards me ever present in you

To reach me, the ego had to go

Painfully shattered, existing no more

Oh elevated being, know this true

Your identity is, was and will be Me and not thy ego.

Now that you've given up your earthly list

Enjoy this cosmic bliss :)

But what if

I know I can sing but what if I get a roasting? I know I can dance but what if I mess up my chance? I know I can write but what if it's not right? I know I can seize the stage but what if I stutter and disengage? I know I can act but what if I can't make an impact? I know I can speak but what if I sound meek? I know I don't want to be like the rest but what if I am not the best? I know I can put up a fight but what if I fail downright? I know I want to be in my own skin but what if I don't fit in? I know I have a voice but what if nobody accepts my choice? I know I can soar high but what if nobody wants to see me fly? I know I have my own vibe but what if I never find my tribe? I know I can stay strong but tell me, just for how long?

Inside the Mind of a Missionary Worker

I wrote this poem in an attempt to dive inside the mind of missionary workers and healthcare warriors, who are the need of our pandemic struck world. I was curious to explore how they could genuinely and unconditionally give sisterly and brotherly love to victimized people, who often shame themselves - as in, they hate their own existence and don't love themselves. It's easy to love people who love themselves or at least have learnt to deal with their insecurities and have stopped projecting their fears and complexes onto other people. But how does one love someone who hates themselves? Let's see. I want to love you no matter what you do whether you hit, beat or curse I want to love you no matter who you are genuine or a toxic farce I want to love you no matter what you throw defenses, screams and abuses galore I want to love you You know why? It's the only thing that's gonna set me free and help me fly So how do I love you when you are this mess of s...
