In the mirror of my soul, I see,Reflections clouded with greed’s decree,A heart that’s closed, a mind confined,In shadows deep, my thoughts entwined.The world outside, a distant cry,Yet in my shell, I choose to lie,The light of others dims and fades,As selfishness in me pervades.The cries for help, I turn away,In solitary pride, I stay,A fortress built on ego’s land,With walls too strong to understand.Yet deep inside, a whisper calls,To break the chains, to let love fall,To see the world with open eyes,And shed the cloak of selfish lies.
