Pride

You hid behind your arrogance

You cried yourself to sleep

But you held your head up high

Never let anyone in

No one was good enough

Stayed alone

Stuck with your lonely,

Cold,

Pride

You thought you were better than everyone

At the top of the ladder

That sure was a long way to fall

Because you surely did

You put yourself on a pedestal

You stuck your nose in the air

You forgot to watch your step

And fell to the rear

Alone

Ego shrinking,

Nonexistent

Alone,

Scared,

Unsure

What happened to that proud mysterious person?

Where did they go?

That self-confidence that drove others to hate or love them.

It's gone

You made a mistake

Let someone in

Stepped down a few steps

Fell flat on your back,

Rejected
