What if your ego lived inside you
In your lungs
So when you took a deep breath
It grew
And you thought you could hold your breath
Forever
As long as the world loved you
But then you walk into a cloud
Of smoke
And you exhale
Cough
Lose your ego
And cough again
Because the tendencies
Of the people who don’t see what you see
Create the smoke
From their own lungs, filled with doubt
When they exhale
It can be so hard to breathe
When you walk into smoke
Gasp
Remain calm
When you walk into smoke
Gasp
Be patient and accept time
When you walk into smoke
Then inhale
Inhale
Just inhale
