Pride
A proud wound is a thing
That doesn't want to heal
It the heart will bring
So the mind can't feel
The vulnerability
Of a psyche transformed
By brutal honesty
But this fear transformed
Replaced by fear of lies
Allows the heart’s reveal
Embracing all the whys
Of things that make life real
In weakness hides a gift
A beauty like no other
A balm to heal the rift
That wounded pride cannot recover
That doesn't want to heal
It the heart will bring
So the mind can't feel
The vulnerability
Of a psyche transformed
By brutal honesty
But this fear transformed
Replaced by fear of lies
Allows the heart’s reveal
Embracing all the whys
Of things that make life real
In weakness hides a gift
A beauty like no other
A balm to heal the rift
That wounded pride cannot recover

Gem.
You remind me of my another wise wise Friend and poet Amorous_Tryst.
Profound, the ink, the expression.
Pride-the rotting wound.
