I am as unimpressed by self importance
As I am self unimportance
All this self obsession
Is a serious misunderstanding
Of the truth of things
The awakening that is sought by many
Puts an end
To elevating or demeaning self
Because self is suddenly seen
As illusory
Why would you
Bow down to something
That doesn’t exist?
Awakening is the end of the imagined self
And what a relief that is.
