There is no I

Your jail is your mind
Creating the illusion of a separate self
The I
Which once so created
Even though it has no substance like a shadow
Starts pulling things to it
Coalescing around it
Giving it a semblance of reality
When truth be told
If you search for the I hard enough by looking within
The layers around the I
Your prison of illusion fall off one by one
Like the skin of an onion eventually revealing nothing inside
