Self Recognition

Balloons of self recognition
Don’t burst of their own volition
They heat in a fiction sublime
And burst in the friction of time

Most times they’re clear, a see through go
Sometimes the color of rainbow
They’re pushed by winds erotic breeze
Up and down like dust in tease

They think they have the right to choose
By thoughts into a heavens muse
Following human sage of mend
Into salvation of an end

But balloons self recognition
Don’t burst of their own volition
They heat in a fiction sublime
And burst in the friction of time

They are the putty of the rape
The instant of a single shape

Dear sir, this one gets deeply into my mind. a beautiful poem with  profound meaning. it has a very strong tune.
it can be read as humble, or self-wakening or
a malicious but true comment on others.

beautiful one and enjoyed as always. but somehow I felt quite disturbed and heavy. I need too a "Self Recognition"...I lack of the confidence of yours.

have a wonderful day, sir Tabin.

"The I that I know does not know enough to know that it does not know enough."

--James Hollis, from the preface of "Why Good People Do Bad Things"



?

But you sure nailed that thought, and I admire you for dotting all of your "I's".

You mean confidence in no confidence?
