Pride

No one ever chokes  to death 
Swallowing pride 
So, all you go and eat yours up
Full with it I am here 
And wear it on my arms as amulet 
To keep free myself 
From the evil spell of depression 
I use it like a horse also 
To ride on 
At a time to fight with my bad mind 
I get from devil’s humiliation;

Pride goes before fall 
Let all crashing down today 
On  the ground pride is my shield 
I use it in war 
To fight against what is mean and evil;

It is my long time plan 
To struggle against fall 
Yet I take pride 
In my victory 
Fighting against those who are notoriously imbeciles.
