Ego's Stronghold

Slowly falling down the spiral Consciously aware Emotionally devoid Chained my psyche to misery Too fast I lose my grip on reality Shattered pieces of what I have always been reflect back an image of sorrows son Shattered pieces of what I have always been reflect back an image of sorrows son The looking glass self professes a weakness I cant seem to escape An entity made of my own creation devouring me piece by piece Piece by piece Maybe it's myself I'm afraid to see Maybe it's myself I'm afraid to be Pull back the mask and reveal my higher self Drown in self reflection My mind keeps swimming with no apparent shore I've collapsed underneath the weight of it all The pillars that gave me strength fade away and disintegrate The pillars that gave me strength fade away and disintegrate This state of being is all I've ever know Its cessation reforms the inner me Separate myself from false claims Disengage from the negativity festering inside of me Psychological suicide I must hold on to something or find purpose in the unknown My mind keeps swimming with no apparent shore
