Pride

© 1997 by M. Otis Beard. All Rights Reserved.

We boil and steam and sputter inside
Biting back the savage
Shouting is undignified
What is the price of pride?

The thirst and ache and hunger we hide
Clogs our deepest thinking
It seems we're never satisfied.
What is the price of pride?

We bumble and stumble and smile our sighs
Grinning back a grimace
What is the point of suicide?
What is the price of pride?
