I took a rest after being My best But still failing the test Of my own perfection. What happened in that pause, when I looked At the cause Of my suffering and yours? I saw protection. The ego, let loose, fights Without a truce, Until you're tied in a noose, Awaiting the push of failure. But the humans that we are seldom live Without a scar, And we’ve travelled so far That we’ve earned our freedom.

The Pause
I took a rest after being My best But still failing the test Of my own perfection. What happened in that pause, when I looked At the cause Of my suffering and yours? I saw protection. The ego, let loose, fights Without a truce, Until you're tied in a noose, Awaiting the push of failure. But the humans that we are seldom live Without a scar, And we’ve travelled so far That we’ve earned our freedom.
