Interpreted As Ego

How much more enriched,
Can one's life become...
When blessed with wisdom.
And what seems to be unlimited,
Enlightenment given.
Although finding it difficult at times...
To hide a mind always shining bright.
With accompanied humility misunderstood,
As obnoxious competence.
Interpreted as ego.
And not confidence.
