Pride

Pride killed me and the one I loved
with forsaken tears and all my fears
being pushed aside to fight the war inside
against the one outside but put before
my peers.

I went through the struggle to be
the good guy with a high head but instead
became the painful thorn in the heel
feeling scorned for taking a stand
all those years.

Lacking the acumen of a wiser age
to pave a path with forward clout
I invaded the war zone to carry it without
a sedated energy to see my rout when
facing spears.

--Porter Daryl's Poems
