Observing

Observing the observer
Strange thought indeed
Listening without judging
It’s not a cognitive fantasy

The little voice inside you
That’s full of fear and pain
The dialogue goes on and on
Creating so much shame

The ego is the villain
A cancerous growth to self-esteem
Trying to overcome it
The treatment is sometimes worse than the disease

The ego likes to parade around
In a comparison mode
Presenting a false impression
To other egotistical bottomless holes

Observing the observer
Awareness truly begins
Understanding “the self” without judgment
Liberation, autonomy in the end

Acceptance of our condition
Acknowledgement and letting go
Everything in life has been necessary
To facilitate our growth

An awakening has happened
A metamorphosis unfolds
The death of the ego
The resurrection of a holy soul

“What a caterpillar calls the end of the world we call a butterfly.”
― Eckhart Tolle
