Let Go the Ego

"I was right", and "You were wrong".
The turmoil of noise , overblows along.
Rage agitates, a scapegoat is blamed.
Trapped in Ego, the "We" gets maimed.

A deep breath , through my Wisdom tooth.
As introspection , liberates the truth,...
I control and cut off, the shackles of past.
An exasperated Ego, finds peace at last.

Egos always seem to get in the way of peace in a relationship or otherwise. Nicely done my friend.
