91. Bruised Ego

You know it's a bruised ego
When anger threatens
To take over sense
And rain hell.

When madness strikes chaos
By wrecking havoc in ways
Unprecedented in time
And unknown to tell.

When new highs are set
After gaping lows
That cover up
Murky wells.

When there is no stopping
The bleeding wounds
Slashed right against
The weak dwell.

When paths are long past
With no scope of return
Back from a distance
With no bell.

When ignorance is bliss
And oblivion delusion
That feeds your ego
Corrupted intel.

When insecurities are blazing
At peaks of its simmer
Consuming your soul
In a hollow shell.

When you're left at the end
With bruised shards
Ego remains just
A strangled yell.
