Growing up

Have you heard the ego inside you?
Do you feel you’re the shadow of yourself?
Have you seen the leaves of trees inside a cave?
Or try to smell the sweet harmonious nocturne?
Unsatisfied with the taste of your empty lips?

For what you heard were the echoes of change,
and you can feel either happiness or sorrows.
To doubt what have you seen.
To be tempt of what have you smelled,
and taste the bitter-sweet life.

    Strong, sensitive feelings imbued with a deep sadness, I think. Thanks for opening up your world to us.
