Worthy of insult



Respect for oneself
Sense of self
Worth no dearth
Harmony with the world

Lack of esteem
Complex supreme
Seldom content
If nurtured  malignant

Ego defines being
A conscious human
Carries negative connotation
Wrong interpretation

Honor and dignity
Persons sanctity
Built or Born with
Character's bandwidth

Bully and whimsical
Behavior Egotistical
Respect seldom
For self or non

Inflated opinion of oneself
Conceited and centered sense of self
Deep inner lacking
Pinnacle of self loathing

Conceited and whimsical
Bully and Egotistical
Respect for others seldom present
Mirroring the Souls Reflection

Ego defines reality
Egotistical unreality
Line very subtle
Sinking in pride's puddle

Act of Insult
Treat with disrespect
Throw in some slight
To get desired result

Notice of presence
Not taken to offend
Disregard intentionally
Decency not even formality

Ignore to insult
Powderkeg arsenal
Purposeful  communication
Intention not to pay attention

Worthy of insult
Deemed your worth
Ignore the insult
Reverse the result

No price can buy
Sense of pride
No threat can decide
What you are made of inside
Head held high
Till you die
Finite life
Live till you die
