Anxious Pride

Anxious pride has me humming my special tune
The Destiny Of Me superficial charms has  me 
Smiling at all of the negativity i see
What should I think how should I say hello, good
Morning,  or  pleased to meet you, good night

Watch them PUPIL TO PUPIL  with a  smirk
I'm GOD'S  complex child i plan to eventually
Reach my dreams  I'll  be arriving, i don't  know when
Anxious pride is for one's  who care about impressions
Anxiety is a powerful motivator  Everyone has them

I am proud of my anxiety i feel my shoulders grow 
Tense  that's a  slick reminder  still not there yet
If I fret,  I fail  have to begin again  I have to much 
pride For reconstitution   my thing is I must remain 
Optimistic  i attempt to cause the betterment 

Of situations I've failed many times often causing
Injury to my pride i know I must kick that to the side
And attempt a different route  no substitute it must
Be done if i am to achieve  anything at all  
Can't afford the fall

Cherish the dream move on
