anytime my shadow cries
why this? why that?
every time it turns up and
makes me mad or sad
at first i pout, again?
when will this stop?
yet now i know who's
boss, who's at the top
ego's insistent wails i finally heed
and shed a tear as a respectful deed
then instantly my focus points
towards what matters
ideas, books, and writing
the ego is left in shatters
i'm truly blessed
to find this gratifying goal
primarily for myself
but if you care, then for you all
that state with my soul
in complete control
i'm almost at that state
once and for all
