Pride
PRIDE
You worked really hard
Path of life was uneven.
You have stumbled on each step.
Truth was only guard.
Long journey was not serene.
You had not fled to escape.
Deceit, betrayal
jealousy, failure, pain
attacked, but you stood erect.
Love came parallel
Your effort was not in vain.
Success proved you the perfect.
Sure you are proud
to win the troublesome game.
Act as an Idol rather.
Don’t be rude or loud
as you have attained the fame.
Pride has no right to hurt other.
