Pride

It can make us or break us help us to see the light or make us blind It can give us the strength to carry out our day or make us cringe in fear when someone acts our way Our family is the strongest form of this emotion it takes years not seconds to build such devotion While others envy at what we had or have they’ll do anything to have that feeling, even if it makes you sad For it is something we have to find within ourselves and not get approval from others that lend out help If you have to take a stand for what is right instead of backing down from a fight, pride is there When you love someone more than anything and defend them, pride is there When you give your all to make everybody happy, pride is there No rest for the weary, no running, no hiding if you loose your pride, you will be living while dying.
