humbling pride
My pride fell with my fortunes." William Shakespeare
As you like It --- Act 1, Scene 2, Rosalind to Orlando
pride of life does reign
hoisting human nature’s gain
toward downfall pain
yon towering pride
that offers triumphant ride
lurks great fatal stride
admitting own blight
seek God’s help for righteous plight
along divine light
proud to be humble
braced upon haughty spirit
heart projects fake smile
confident meekness
hiding shaky fortitude
melts midst shallow praise
unmask arrogance
repent from timid pretense
with faith's blest triumph
