I have spent most of my life trying to humble myself,
Not believing in being superior,
And that has led to many seeing me as inferior,
Because I hold a demeanor of calm and sweetness.
I have always tried to be perceived as an average human being,
The one that offers a helping hand,
The one that picks you up and dusts off the sand.
I have let go of my pride each time in order to keep the peace,
To avoid the apocalypse of pestilence and disease,
Because pride would lead to my downfall,
Yet I never realized that it was my own indecisiveness to take control,
That minimized my role,
And kept me small.
Weakening my spirit and broking my soul,
As I sacrificed and the burden exacted a heavy toll,
But now, a clear vision is before me; I see my goal.
A new fire has been lit under my soul,
And I see who I must be,
I must destroy my enemies, those close and those further than I can see.
I see the need for me to regain my pride,
I see no need for me to hide,
I will become the conqueror as my enemies fall down or step aside,
And with the deadly sin of pride, into the sunset I will ride,
Never to be looked down upon,
By friend or foe, Because deep down in my heart, I know,
That I am the one, The one that was thrown into the ocean and swam back to shore,
I was the one that was kicked and bullied,
But somehow I survived unsullied.
But today, I make a stand,
Today, I do not show my hand,
And with the pride and arrogance of a prince,
I will destroy you all and with your blood and sweat, the ground I will rinse,
Today I choose myself,
Today the seed of pride gets sown in me,
And before no one will I ever bend the knee,
I become the one who holds the key,
I become the one that kings shall come to see,
And to my guardian angel, I say step aside,
And watch me regain my pride,
And my let my enemies run and quiver as they begin to hide.
