Dunce

What a dunce I have been?

Building a wall around me and calling it hallowed

Limiting my consciousness when it could expand far and wide

Training my eyes to look for the obvious, to look skin deep

When it could see worlds beyond this

Why turn to ethereal pleasures, when their destinies lie in smoke

Why force the spirit to ignore what it revels in

Why stop the heart from beating for the beloved

And allow the poisons of ego to trickle

Peer pressure says thou, soul stench says me!
