On the Aether

Stripped of all my armor
My ego mourns it’s loss
Self inflated importance
Hissing from a puncture
Logic and reason defy me
Somewhere cowering in a corner
Emotions frozen over
I see skaters on my heart
Ego flee’s in terror
No place left hide
Reality melts to insubstantial
Perception comes unhinged
Tricks I’ve used before
To protect me from the truth
Blind me with their foolishness
now I’ve pulled my roots
Floating through the aethers
Not a hold for me to grab
only for a second
I wish for the life I had
Sovereignty upon me
Like some stealthy jungle beast
I’m overcome with freedom
My soul has found release
