So Long Ego

I won’t heed you anymore
What you deem as protection
Is no longer needed
I appreciate your original intent
Sweet in the beginning
But limiting and oppressive now
I have been oblivious to your antics for too long
Time and again hoodwinked by you
Never suspecting that you were an illusion
Now the veil has been lifted
I know what you’re up to
You are no longer my reality
I see that you’ll continue to fight me
Trying to establish your dominance, once again
You know my intent is to be free of you
I will state now that your power is waning
I am doggedly on the path of diminishing you
You might think I’ll win by violence
I know I’ll win by love.
