IF ANYTHING
IF ANYTHING
If anything, I must stop it right now
Well before it grows and dominates
I should never have tempted the fates
With low hanging fruit on the bough
If anything, it was never my intention
It is the birth of pride, and so strong
And will start to take over before long
As the mind succumbs, as is convention
If anything, a temptation I must reject
Yet it is so seductive, as it looks at me
It swells inside, deserving no sympathy
Smiling, as mere humility has no effect
If anything, I’d prefer that it was gone
As I have seen what such pride can do
It’ll be good for me, but also for you
At least it’s something to think upon
