Imposter

Brain Is the Imposter

I massacre the imposter in my brain,
Now, in the mirror, I see no reflection.
Hanging by a thread, life rough as silica,
I say, bring it on
I either keep going or I’m done.

Quitting isn’t an option; it’s the end.
The only end is the death of me.

But I wish to live long enough
To witness the best of the world

wonder that human brings

but that's fantasy of Man

We are unknown at the beginning,
And still unknown when it ends.
Everything becomes an illusion,
Our mind deceives, for the brain itself
Is the imposter of humankind,
The root of all cause,
Yet the solution to all loss.

Hello Ego of Stone, Another magnificent piece from you! I love the lines, 'We are unknown at the beginning,
And still unknown when it ends.'
Also, 'Everything becomes an illusion,
Our mind deceives, for the brain itself
Is the imposter of humankind,' So Beautiful! Such Wisdom!

true thoughts….but the mind deceives us sometimes and has its way of commanding our actions….sometimes we have a choice in how our life ends, sometimes we do not…it seems that “ we are un known at the beginning and unknown at the end”…. but as long as our inner being , our soul is in sync with us…. it’s okay…. well written!
warmly, B🌷

Thank you, I think a world is big mystery, We do not know its beginning, we are unknown to the existence itself, and unknown throughout the life, we die not know the reality itself, becomes an illusion to the thought, Life itself is contradiction< so is the God.....

We are unknown at the beginning,
And still unknown when it ends.

this is a sentiment I have struggled with for some time now, I do not view death as an end for me, but in time I will be dead to the world. I guess it doesn't matter but some how it still seems a shame. I guess it's the fact of being forgotten that bothers me. Enjoyed the read much to consider in what you have said. -carl

Ya Death is the beginning of next journey....
Actually we live in the loop of death and reincarnation, we die and reborn, relive, die
I think the journey never ends< it's just the memories does not remain because it's the Maya/illusion of the world....
