Fragile
—/—/—/—/—/—/—/—
The prideful will fall,
Or so do they say;
But closed are your ears,
That pride's in the way.
How weak are the ones,
Who stand all alone;
The ones who could die,
And no one would know.
You love to fly free,
No one's help you take;
And that was my flaw,
That's how you became.
Strength still needs a brain,
Or it serves no cause;
How true of you!
With no heart at all.
About time you learn,
You can't fight alone;
Your power is frail,
Despite what you crow.
I know that one day,
I'll regain my might;
But never will you,
Let go of your pride.
I'll praise your demise,
As soon as it comes;
I may warn you now,
Still, you won't succumb.
How dangerous, an ego,
That climbs like a tower;
A vine full of thorns,
And never a flower.
The humble will rise,
The first will be last;
Who cheats to the front,
Always stumbles back.
There's something you need,
At least to live well;
It takes far more strength,
To kiss pride farewell.
Embrace the weakness,
Never be lonely;
And pass off the pen,
Don't write your own story.
Take the leap of faith,
Into your dark heart;
And you will come out,
No longer torn apart.
These things I do say,
I wish I could do;
And I'm so ashamed,
Of talking to you.
Hypocritical,
Oh, how much I am!
And not like you know,
Your brain can't understand.
Here we go again.
