I am   Arrogent

I am Arrogent

A Poem by Paul Seaman

I am Arrogant

       it is true

 

I have tried it

       the other way

Modest, Contrite and Apologetic

& it did not work so well

       for me

 

You see

       I am so far out of the box

       I can no longer even see

the box

 

No one can do what I do

 

       and not feel shame, blame and ecstasy

              every moment every day

                     every night.

 

Judge me...

not by who I am

       but what I do

 

Categorize me

not by appearance

       but whom you see me 

with...

 

Embrace me

not by what i feel...

       with the feelings 

I create

 


I am Arrogant

it is true

With the audacity to believe

You 

should be Arrogant too !  :-)

In my view, there are grades of arrogance which are really very unpleasant and I don't value in the slightest, there are always theories associated with this trait of behaviour. I think that this can be a trait in everyone and very obvious in some in some people, thanks for sharing.

well that is a hard punch for the stereotype-rs i mean this nails the point home that people are not what they look and we shouldn't be judged by our outer selves but the inner us... so before you know someone deep down then don't talk!! well done my friend..:)
