The summit of pride...Is at best, a long slope to fall from.
Ive seen many die from my place at the top.
But I am not so lucky.
I must wait patiently till the day,
(for no man can surrender his pride)
And I will fall,
Faster and harder than any I have seen.
But what I have seen:
A stag with strong antlers becoming tangled in the thickets.
A man, A patriarch, A fighter, who in defeat, cannot grace.
A child with the best toy who becomes a recluse when the new one arrives.
A Woman who has never surrendered to a morally ambiguous world, Has told them to be stolen.
For happiness intertwined with your pride will fail.
Just as what you have taken pride in dwindles.
Every weak point exists to become stronger.
