Pompous Lines by an Outwardly Brazen Poet
If the sin of pride is my condign curse;
then I own it, and I can do no worse.
If the world disdains me, not saying why;
then I can stand it, though I want to die.
Alone for good, now and for evermore,
as souls come, to never enter my door.
Condemned by my sins, I'm kept from the light;
without grace, I live bereft of God's sight.
(Too bad if some don't recognize my genius;
but know, great souls believe in their greatness:
so damn this world if I'm cursed any longer!
For the burden of brilliance makes me stronger.)
