Pride
Early on we’re taught to be proud;
to have pride in all that we do;
to the gods of confidence we bowed;
self confidence: a trait to imbue.
Determined to become gods on our own;
we honed our skills, and self trust;
developing faith in ourselves, alone;
our
Rags To Riches
So many lay claim to how they rise,
up the proverbial ladder of success;
and the clever ways they devise;
to appear that they were just blessed.
Actually, most just fight and claw;
to climb their way to the top;
the one who views himself with awe;
Self Portrait
If you’re an artist; painting your picture;
just how will you appear?
If you desire that you be a fixture;

The Cost
It has been said that nothing is free;
that all things have a price attached.
I know it certainly seems so to me;

Surreal
What is that state, we call despair;
an isle of complete desolation;

leading only to consolation.
Later, while sleeping, scenes changed;
a substitute life, takes the dream’s place;
all of reality is subtly rearranged;
and destiny gives it all a new face.
