You are a prisoner of your own device.
Held in addictions where different context rise.
Do you feel like a leper that is unclean?
Are you ignored and stay unseen?
Or are you proud and strutting with feathers preen?
Pride usually comes before a fall.
Head held high and you walk talk.
The thin line of boast or roast
That is burnt like frazzled toast.
Decide what will be.
Think clearly and you will see.
Life is not always what it is made out to be.
Ego plays a lot to some degree.
With self-realization comes hope.
It brings an inner strength that can cope
with the battle ahead that can’t be shared.
Humility and grace mark how you have fared.
