Pride

Pride
Dangerous
Double-edged sword
It slices deep
Mine has
I've writhed in agony
Endless nights of self-imposed
Exile

Guilt
  And pride
Ahhh...
To never make mistakes

As much as that sounds
Desirable
It's not. So not.
  I learn the most from my errors
           I earn my education

I'll take my flaws
     My humanity
                 Strive
       To be better than myself
              O'er and o'er

So
Alas
Alack
Here I am
      Please
            forgive
                    me
For I cannot remain away
          It is like to remove the heart of me to continue thus
                     Bereft...
