'My' Ego?

My brain
'My' brain?

My functioning body
'My' functioning body?

Who
And what
on Earth
Am 'i'?
Is anything of 'me'
Mine?
My language?
Not mine
My body?
I did not make it
My mind
Only made possible
By things that I do not control
So what am I?
Who am I?

Ahh!
I’m just a human
Everything else
Is just Ego
...The great illusion maker! The great cause of suffering for mankind?
But I know you’re just a phantom
Just a ghost of which the poor human is a host
Oh Ego be gone of this man
And leave me as nothing and clear

My Ego
