Ego, the mighty force within,
That drives us to success or sin.
It lifts us up with pride and power,
But can also make us bitter and sour.
A fragile thing, so easily bruised,
It can leave us feeling confused.
A delicate balance we must maintain,
To keep our ego from causing pain.
But when in check, our ego shines,
Guiding us to reach greater heights.
Confidence and strength it can provide,
But arrogance and conflict it may hide.
So let us tame our ego's flame,
And use it wisely in life's game.
For when we find the proper balance,
Our ego becomes our true valiance.
