Ode To Self Poem by Cynthia Yildirim

I
Light, mother
Light, father
Light sun
Light wonder
Oh to birth
II
Mirrors surround
Seeing not
Blinded by splendor
Oh to envy
III
Pure, plain, meager
Nearing Nirvana
Careful and kind
Loving and sweet
Oh to purity
IV
Harsh, mean, greed
Nearing Insanity
Tears and fears
Killing and dealing
Oh to malevolence
V
Combining
Absorption
Assimilation
Adjustment
Amalgamation
Merging
Oh to union
VI
Blood, hurls
Nearing the end
Tombstones
Loss Stones
Surrounded by mirrors
Final darkness
Oh to death
