Pride!

by David   Feb 26, 2007


No one will ever own me
I am mine
Cant everyone see
I am a man of pride!

So I dont like what you do
How you secretly mock me
Like you own my sorry soul
I am a man who is free!

I should not be treated
Like an animal who does what you say
Like a submissive weak pet
I am a man that does things my way!

Yet I forgive you
And I hope we both learn
How I really am
A man who will never burn!

I will never give up
I am a fighter
I am not a small defenseless pup
I am a man who will not back down!

I will use my brains
I will use my might
I wont ever loose
I am a man who has rights!

I can say this
I have not lied
I am confident in shouting
I am a man of pride!

:A man who will never burn!: means a man who will never give up, who will never back out, stand up for what he believes in.

    Pride can be a dangerouse thing; however, when used properly it can be the saving grace for someone. Always stand firm in your beliefs, but in return do not judge those who believe different then you. Instead respect them for standing true to themselves as well.
