Pride (Seven Deadly Sins Series)A Chapter by Ashira MacyThe deadliest sin.Very few beings on this earth could boast Of being blessed with more talents than most; But I was so special, witty, and smart - Features sculpted like Athenian art. My smile could part oceans, start and end wars. Like Helen of Troy, beauty to the core, My tale is tragic like fair Narcissus Brought to a close by those who were jealous. As I gazed upon the stagnant water My image causing balance to totter Into my own immaculate embrace, Submerged in my cool and reflective grace. Downward I plunged to the steel gates of hell Where naught but loathsome, ugly creatures dwell All desirous of my pure radiance - Damned me, doomed me, eternally sentenced Neck always garnished with drab slabs of stone Face buried within the cold soil alone I wail and yearn for those days long since dead When I was not forced to bow my vain head. © 2014 Ashira MacyAuthor's Note
