Shallow Comforts

You can afford to let those go.
Those full of self importance.
Who are known to show you disrespect.
What more from them do you expect?
When more of the same from them you get.
Let them go!
And grow beyond the hold of ego!
Overblown and on constant display.
Whether it be yours or not.
Drop it and get away!
Want more than shallow comforts,
To soothe such fleeting needs!
