Pride

Like a mother, I nursed my ambitions
Like a Lion, I chased my dreams
Like a Bull, I charged towards my goals and
Like a storm, nothing could stop me

Like the Sun, I did rise
Like the Sea did I roar
Like a king, I commanded authority and
Like a Prince, I knew favor

But Like the Serpent, Pride creped in
And Like Eve, I gave in
Like a Cancer , she ate deep
Though slowly but consistently

Then Like a Cripple was I on my Knees
And Like the Palm, did my sorrows grow
Like the Birds, my friends flew
And Like the Desert, I am alone
