I became very mentally conscious lately
Only hang out with ego friendly people
You see mine is as fragile as the Ozone layer,
I'm afraid one slight too many is all it'll take to dissolve it completely
I'm afraid of the day when everyone's mask will come off
I'm afraid of their naked thoughts, of truths in plain sight
So I'll pack my sanitizer in my cloth tote bag and set out seeking
For craws' feet etched so deep and selfless eyes
This is one fear I won't be facing. I'm tired.
My ego can't handle another wave.
