Battle within

By Haaziq

I realise that my discoveries are never ending,

As I take the staircase into my soul- the journey is infinitely descending,

No matter how deep I go within, the spiral evermore keeps on extending.

Like an explorer I travel through the cosmic world inside,

Hunting on the causes for my failures and pride,

As I pass through layers of goodness that have been my guide,

I distantly begin to see attributes I had completely denied.

Something I never thought existed ruled me inside,

Ego my accursed enemy had his squad in the hide.

I cleanse through but its rough,

I scrub on and on but the going gets tough,

I almost give up thinking I had enough,

But my Guide commands me to not leave until they're all in handcuffs.

So I pick my sword and strike again,

Until I imprison them all in heavy pieces of chain,

they ruined my energy and caused me so much pain,

Oh! So blinded I got I cannot explain.

But now I'm on guard, mindful, and with no excuse,

I transcend upwards, committing to never let them loose,

And come back over and over to keep a check,

Lest my enemy should show up and bring about my wreck.
