- Ego Cups That Runneth Over

Ego cups have now been filled

To the point of overflowing

Confidence and power now heightened
 
 Fuel to keep ego’s growing!

Wow! Better to know life’s true flow of ups and downs… being confident and humble at the same time :)

I suspect it’s a worldwide expression, but I’m thinking, “Give em an inch and they’ll take a mile.” These people feed on retaliation… blank them… they will tire. Terry

Ego, once engaged, definitely grows. You captured the essence quite well, hugs, Sara

That's really not a good thing, my friend. Ego is the enemy of community and acceptance of others. Nice poem though. Gives us something to think about, Deb. Your poet friend in Texas, Bill
