Analysis of My Ego, My Self, The Elf



My Ego tells My Self
It unnecessarily needs
Nothing more or less than, simply, to be
Acknowledged while denied
Long enough to infinitely never exist
In a nowhere place
In order to impermanently fuse together
With My Self to reveal
The impossible inexistence of itself,
My Ego
