Title: PRIDE
Author: O. Asojo


Pride, father of confidence
Kin of arrogance


Pride, the rise and fall
The Joy! Abhorrence!


Pride, my nonchalance as the best
My enthusiasm, challenge the rest


Pride, fuels the drive when high
Retards the strive when dejected


A thousand words, just one or even none
I remain the best; coming close, I see no one
I’m in a league of my own, I’m the only one
