My Pride

For when you are feeling unappreciated, when you know you are the greatest

When in doubt, I rely on my pride

Regaining my focus to maintain a smile

It always happens like this once in a while

I can no longer be lenient, therefore, I tone it down

You see, I am the type of person who has zero tolerance for those who take me for granted

Treat me like you're afraid to lose me, because if not, I will vanish

Some may see it as being selfish, being that I can lock away my heart quick

But with a heart of a gold, I'd be a fool to let the demons of others corrupt my soul

Maybe I do have trust issues, I look in the mirror and think, "I can barely trust you."

But at the end of the day, I do all things my way

Only The Creator and I know what is best

With that being said, I don't care about the rest

If you don't care about my best interest

Then I guess I'd have to throw those deuces

To crawl back is useless, I'll prove it

Just do it.

First, i must ask if you are an introvert,only we have the power to lock our heart faster than anybody else,besides i have a hunch that you are. If this poem is all of you, then you might want to take it slow and try to be much softer on people that life brings to you. I must add that we can fall into pride easily than anybody else can and we all know that its quiet negative.

Actually, I am an extrovert, however, I can be an introvert when need be.

[mayowa]

Good strong spirit for a sis. There is beauty in the strength of a woman. Arrogance makes her ugly and deteriorate on the inside. And you show the difference in a very particular, right as exact way. I enjoyed your stance. Good work Queen.
