Jumping the Cliff

by Neo - Gemini

I crouched down and held back the tears from all the years
I felt smaller than the fly i refused to swat as it crawled 
down my cheek as if i were only the ground
and heard from the stars, that they envied me
why i thought, and they explained it all too clearly
i was actually bigger than life, and even the universe
my gift was my mind, and it's capacity infinite
i could fit every atom into my mind and have room for a 
thousand other universes in a million other dimensions
what made me small is my disbelief in myself
and complete belief in others, what they thought, 
and what they did, forgetting that i was everything
or nothing at all
it only depended on the weakness or strength of my own 
awareness
with my hope exploding and my mind now crystal
i thanked the stars
and they bowed down as i stood beneath them
a universe inside another universe
but mine was forever, changing, and pure energy
never destroyed nor created, 
just shifting toward my peak
and with that i went off to conquer my world
