Ego

A Poem

By Atomic HistorianPublished about a year ago • 1 min read
Random internet picture. I don't remember where I got it. Credit to whoever took it

I eat myself to feed my soul

I roll with every toll

Time laid out ahead and behind me

Thoughts creating and destroying the fallacy of my reality

Taking what was left in me

Bereft of the old me

Struggling through the wound of the cocoon

Teeth gnashing and slashing about my face

A race for freedom
