Why Do You Do That Pride Asked
Confidence gave me my smile
Encouraging me to not use its full wideness
Arrogance came by and spread it out to its full strength
What’s a woman to do? I hid under my covers, afraid of both
Come on out Confidence said, in that nurturing way
Lifting me to heights of completion I had only dreamed before.
People began commenting on my abilities and talents
Arrogance came by, taking full credit, pushing me into a blender.
Why do you do that? Pride asked. Where is the stop gap point?
Having no idea, I let her push me around with guilt and remorse
Until Arrogance came back and they battled to the death
Which truly was the best way to get Confidence and I back together.
