Pride and Egos

Sometimes pride and egos get in the way of revealing true feelings and sentiments. They are both bitter and hard pills to swallow. People spewing truth have the tendency to unintentionally bruise pride and egos. Either way, overinflated senses of either can leave you all alone and bitter in a world that was meant for couples. Dynasties, empires, kingdoms, and households operate much smoother and much more colorfully when the duke, duchess, emperor, empress, king, queen, man, and woman exist together and are at liberty to sharpen one other as iron sharpens iron. I will to reign with you, my handsome mister. Even when my words hurt…they heal, and this is what love does. It chastens, then soothes.
