Hubris Is Not My Nature

Hubris is not my nature I like my self to be tapered Into humility rather than arrogance If I do anything of significance I play it down rather than flag it up Maybe that's why my success has not amounted to much I keep my head down but my hopes up high My feet I always keep on the ground Ensuring that my heads not lost in the clouds in the sky Maybe if I pushed myself forward more I purr rather than roar Maybe then if I kick down a few doors That refuse to open I would achieve a whole lot more But hubris is not my nature And that the twist This whole writing caper Is making a noise and splash Thrusting yourself in the limelight Not hiding at the back So I might just have to change my ways And put on a whole ridiculous display So that people start to read me And finally get to know my name.
