Song About Self

A poem

Photo by Clark Van Der Beken on Unsplash

Laugh, explore, sing, run, play :

touch the substance of no self.

Imitate, follow, conceal, fake, demand :

smell the safety of the cardboard self.

Please, compensate, charm, learn, expect:

hear the pressure of the confused self.

Master, satisfy, change, struggle, respond:

see the halo of the settled self.

Help, choose, endure, love, accept:

sing the poem of the selfless self.

Written in response to POMPrompt#16 by Christina M. Ward: Walt Whitman’s poem, “Song of Myself”.
