Pride

They say to swallow it.
They say to hold it high.
They say to use it in tough situations.
They say to smile with it.
Thats what they want me to do with my pride.
My pride goes to what i want it too.
My pride has its own way of thinking in tough spots.
My pride smiles on its own.
My pride doesn't listen to others.
My pride doesn't show unless i open its cage.
My pride stays close even when i don't use it.
My pride loves me because i keep it wherever i go.
My pride is my shadow.
My pride is my bodies God.
My pride shows the world just how much compassion i have.
My pride is my life.
