Prose - Man is Deluded; Woman is Real

A man will ignore the fact of his own shortcomings while a woman will dwell on the mere hint of her own. It's that delusion of their own greatness that gives men their self-confidence. It is very difficult to explain the reasons for the delusion but it's existence is indisputable. Because women seem to be more willing to confront their own flaws it also makes them more willing to confront a man over his. Men in believing their own greatness have to be trained to challenge a statement while a woman will challenge it as a matter of instinct.

The delusion of man
In sharp hue
To the reality of woman
He believes
In his greatness
And ignores the truth
She frowns in the mirror
At the mere hint
Of dissonant character
While he plunges
Into the fantasy
Of his own immortality
She masks her fears
In seductive pose
And feigned aloofness
Further demanding
Account of his actions
And repentant in all manner
While he puzzles
Over perfections force
And scornful insistence
The cold truth
And warm illusion
Stare in gilded certainty
Never to be one
Never to be free
Instead apart in incongruity
