Egos



Arrogance

Is a big flaw.

It can make people wish

They do not know you at all.

If you are good

Then people will know.

You do not need to brag

Everywhere you go.

Talk is cheap

And actions speak louder than words.

Your ego is of no importance to me,

So save that talk for the birds.

I have a lot more to do

Then sit and listen to how great you think you are.

If you think I'll tolerate your gloating,

Then you're shooting for the stars.
