That awful word - pride

A monster lurks
Hidden inside behind every word, breath and action.
It awakens at times
When manly pride is let loose
And displays itself in actions
Selfish and crude

Is it a monster or your own laziness
to control our emotions and instinctive reactions
when were feeling trapped within us.
Why do we lash out
ignoring our conscious
left with so much embarrassment

when pride rises out like a shroud over sight
leaking into your mind and taking control
you lash out to the helpless
digging your own hole
disregarding the disgust that disguises and hides
who you really are and what you
truly believe in.
