Limits
What is this life worth if we aren’t awake to see it
All of us are stuck between the safety of being hidden
And the fame of being seen
Fighting an ego
The ego finds many ways to distract us
From government to astronomy
Even relationships and astrology
Although, no ego can withhold the power of the brain
So go out and use the power the ego holds
Unleash your brain from its stem and let it be free
Forget the animosity
Forget the fame
Forget the hierarchy
And forget your name
Your body and mind have limits
So release your soul outside of the city limits of your mind
A soul can never be lost if it knows where it’s going
So don’t let it forget
Keep hold of that dream
Guide your soul to the end of time
Don’t be a slave to a dime
And remember,
We are more than just mankind.

This poem dives into the battle between ego and consciousness. It is very personal to me, and one of my favorite works I have done.
I have been writing poetry for the last couple of years and I have nearly 200 poems written in my journal. I am currently a high school senior and my goal is to become a published author one day.
