†Pride†

Vanity and Pride colliding as one

Believing in yourself,

It will be death,

A living nightmare

Broken by fiery wheels of hell

A dark expression of one's ability

To rise in grace

Or fall within the abyss

By the acting in an individuality

Self love is a dark sin

Causing true interfere with kindness

The dark deed is done

Now, the penance is hell

In a list

1 - 6 of 6

By me, right now

where we dwell is unavoidable
and thrive is where we choose
yet we still must attain a certain attire
for the world within...outside
deep poem you have written

That was beautifully written. I have always wondered who would write on these subjects.

I can understand that believing in yourself would be a very hard thing to accomplish. During the process you do get hurt but despite being hurt your faith grows stronger.

This is a shorter one . . . and perhaps not as intense as the others . . . but certainly a timely warning to anyone who suffers the sin of Pride. Another amazing piece of poetry from you.

Stay smiling and keep writing

Rose this is a very well written poem that speaks nothing but the truth about pride of self-indulgence. My Lord, if this won't leave the reader thinking twice before committing this sin, I don't think they're human. Excellent write....love it.
