Thoughts

Pride

My pride makes me lash out

I have too much of it

I am too proud,

for a women

(?)

If I am told I cannot 

I will

I don't get sad

(particularly because I don't care about things)

But I get angry

I suppose I do care, in a way

But I don't care

in a loving way,

Is how I mean to say

I care

in a cold, emotionless way

Ruled by pride and my ego

And when one or the other is wounded

I will lash out

Because it's not me you've hurt,

It's my ego, y'see?

You've embarrassed or insulted me

And now I have to prove to you

That I am better then you

that I'm superior to you

and how dare you insult me in such a way

and I will not relent until I can see

in your eyes

that you understand.

But by then it will be too late
