I guess it's about having a balance, then, isn't it? Not too little, not too much.

Pride can be a two edged sword. It can ruin anything humble in us or it can allow us to have healthy self esteem. Two much of either can bite us hard.
I know the feeling oh too well of wanting some praise - the pride of being told something wonderful - yet getting slammed down instead. Yes, cruel indeed.
Nice job here, Diana!

Post subject: pride sought
pride sought
my heart screams
it claws its way up
fighting to pull its way free
to rip itself from my chest
in my mind i hear a cry
in know it comes from my mind
for i refuse to shed a tear
a weakness i won’t share
ive fought
ive tried
ive worked
ive failed
so much for praise
a leprechaun i chased
a pot of gold i thought
i found the rainbow
but like a cloud
it was gone
leaving me could
and burnt
what cruel twist of fate
what irony is this life
this joke so old
so over told
i don’t want to be
this fabled soul
who lost her way
seeking the holy grail
pride i once held
pride i once heard
pride i want no more
pride i shall never hold
my heart aches
it screams and pleas
it pulls upon its chains
only to be slammed down again
