You Are Not Here to Disappear - Poem

They told you to kill your ego. To dissolve, transcend, evaporate, as if disappearing was holy.
But let’s call it what it is—spiritual bypass in a silk robe.
A mass ritual of self-erasure wrapped in hashtags and incense.
“Be nobody,” they said, while secretly begging to be seen.
But you?
You remember.
Your ego is not your enemy...
It’s the sacred contract between energy and flesh.
The agreement to exist... to matter.
 
Without ego, you don’t speak.
You don’t fight.
You don't love.
You don’t choose.
You just float in nothingness... safe, silent, irrelevant.
                             
And you weren’t born for silence....You were born for consequence.
You came to embody, not escape.
To integrate... to forge a self…
 strong enough to channel the divine without leaking it through self-denial.
 
Integration is the initiation.
When your soul speaks, it needs a mouth to speak through.
When your vision lands, it needs a spine to stand on.
You aren't t here to be erased.
You are here to be undeniable.
