Pride, the Master of Disguise

Depression is pride Why aren't I perfect? I am better than this, Self hatred is pride I have fallen short My standards are higher than this! Self depreciation is pride I'm too stupid How did I ever do that!, Victimization is pride In trying to find good I have just found the bad. Being offended is pride How dare they say that Don't they know who I am?, Self defence is pride I'm better than you You owe me another chance. Being negative is pride Obsessed by my failures Doesn't make me so wise, Selfishness is pride And all these things Have proven a master of disguise.
