Self
To not be insulted is a fine state indeed
And attacks on your character show another’s need.
For an emotion to rise, a comment struck home.
Offense was taken by this person’s ego alone.
No one else noticed, thier security was intact,
But the chink in ones armor felt the pressured attack.
If one feels angered, and another does not,
It’s the development of ego, the difference a lot.
Past experience and future dreams,
Values held dear and moral extremes.
These are the things that sense the assault,
The real person inside is not at fault.
For when you were born, you were still who you are.
The passing of time has pushed the real you far.
Some things have happened and only to you,
And these are the sees that taint what is true.
Lose your self, and the labels you’ve claimed,
And enjoy a free world, unburdened by chains.
