Words of the Bruised Ego How they stand and where they sit Things were brushed and bristled, oh the way of wrong Pulling and pushing through the long way Yet there is nothing but an angle of the lost Where doth it say and lay? With the bruised, how it lingers Even when wrong doth it hurt Pride is to be swallowed For though it aches, it is still right to push down. Doubling down is wrong and the fault There is little to nothing to be seen Yet only the small portion that shall sit And so shall it be Only there in thought, left to linger and so to pass It is little more than the words of a bruised ego, and only a moment's whimsy.
