Pride

 Behind the facade of our big egos we constantly do hide

And pride of five letters is only that just pride

And some will even tell you pride comes before a fall

From life we have been learning from before we learned to crawl,

The thing we refer to as pride not easily understood

A little pride is necessary but too much pride not good

Pride can lead to big egos and snobbish self conceit

A truly humble person is one you don't often meet

The self opinionated and self conceited never known to be rare

Those who promote their egos in the bigger World out there

From the seeds of a big ego success is often grown

A humble quiet achiever is one I have not known

A little pride is necessary and self esteem okay

But too much pride can lead to arrogance and that seems sad to say.
