I thought
I bottled the ego,
the demon came out.
I thought
I tamed the envy,
the ghost rebelled.
I thought
I conquered the malice,
the giant countered.
I thought
I killed the worms,
they were still swarming.
I went to the grand old mirror...
I thought
myself a king,
I was still a human being.
We all battle with these everyday; well described humanity in all of us, thanks. The love is in the trying and the accepting..
The wonderful use of verb form...I thought I bottled the ego, the demon came out......
