Why do people suffer
From another’s ego?
Why do they claim
Out of deep fear?

I hold on
To what feels real—
But who is real?
Still searching

It's hard to see
When blinded
It's hard to feel
When we resist

Ego fueling pride
a lack of empathy
What's the point
of being selfish?

**** your status
**** your beliefs
**** my beliefs
**** my needs too

We need bridges
Not more barriers
We see and tall, still
Act like animals

You crave connection?
Try the opposite
of being you, man
You don't have a clue

The impact of judgement
insensitive manipulation
The impact of ignorance
Is it you or the ego

speaking with?
again, tell me about your needs
when you don't even know yourself
