Pride

an enduring
                mystique
insistent,partisan
steeped
with
      self-thought
intense
innate,yet
heartless:
          self-regard
tainted by
           self-love

Nice! Reminds me of once telling a dear friend not to mistake his ego for self love. (still good honest friends my brother from another mother)
