Ego Says We Go

A poem on suplexing the ego into submission… Or maybe cooperation (Day 3: Altruism & a wounded ego)

Luckily my guy has a tattoo on his foot illustrating the Art of the Suplex
My friend blindfolded going at the piñata on her birthday a couple years ago

Ego

Says we go

And we flow and flow and flow

In constant continuance

No time to influence

Or just stop

Drop

And roll

Let the fire of your soul

Overtake ego’s stronghold

Lock it with a blindfold

And let your true self shine

Let the ego unwind

See what’s underneath

Just breathe

Let it be

Maybe you’ll find

A being that’s divine

Inclined

To help, support, empower

Others in the golden hour

For you’ve been there, so you know

How hard it is to let go

To grow

Up and out from the egoic perspective

But once you do, it flows, connective

Nothing but Love for the collective

And it’s gratifying beyond belief

More than fixation on the self could ever be
