Vicious, scornful, unrelenting.
Yet empowering…
Existing
to
leave
a broken shell
of…
Pride
bruised, battered
thrown to the ground
shattered, scattered and dazed
daring
itself
to
reconstitute…
Ego
need
not
apply
as the qualifications
demand more
than
mere
acknowledgement, edification
and acceptance
of
its
lesson…
Truth hurts.
