Michael J. Falotico Poet Rhyme

"pride"

Pride makes us do crazy things...
We keep thoughts inside and never sing...
A simply word or two could change a day...
But that stupid pride seems to have its way...
If we can change an emotion, that might just be one...
To never walk away angry and carry regret like a ton...
The best we can do is maybe just swallow a little pride..
And maybe next time all those feelings we won't hide...
