PROTECTING OUR EGO

WHAT IS OUR EGO?
WHAT DOES IT DO?
IS IT AN IMAGE
THAT WE CAN VIEW?
IT’S NOT AN ORGAN
OR SOMETHING WE TOUCH
BUT EGOS ARE FRAGILE
AND EASY TO CRUSH
SENSITIVE PEOPLE
KNOW THIS TO WELL
BRUISED EGOS RETREAT
AND HIDE IN THEIR SHELL
STRONG EGOS ARE DIFFERENT
BUT REALLY THE SAME
BY WEARING A MASK
TO MASQUERADE PAIN
PROTECTING OUR EGO
IS SOMETHING WE DO
CREATING OUR STORY
OF WHAT WE GO THROUGH
TO JUDGE OTHERS EGOS
IT’S REALLY A MIRROR
WE SEE OURSELVES
AS IT APPEARS
