A Journey To Self Discovery Poem by Faisal Mureed Fesi

'I want to shatter the chains of my ego and desires,
and emerge from the darkness of my own ignorance,

Oh wise one, listen! Are you also trapped in the web of your own ego and desires?
Don't you also pretend to be something you're not?
Haven't you ever been deceived by the illusions of the world?
I'm tired of being trapped in this prison of my own making,
where my ego and desires torment me every day.
I want to break free from this cycle of suffering to find my true self,
I'm tired of wearing the mask of humanity,
where people are devouring each other
I want to shed this skin and find my true identity. Who am I? What is my purpose?
I want to shatter the mirror of my ego and see the truth.
Oh wise one, guide me on this journey of self-discovery.'
