Pride
I tried
I worked
I was committed
I thought I was good.
And soon someone wasn’t going to sugar coat anything.
I was happy with my work and then they came along.
They knew I thought I was good
But they thought otherwise.
And the told the truth.
It hurt.
I thought I was good. Good enough that I needed no help.
But I couldn’t have been more wrong.
And after that my walls came down.
I cried and deleted everything I had written.
And then I could feel them. They wanted to help. And they did.
But I didn’t help myself.
I accepted the help. I got better.
But I built my walls up again.
And I knew building them again would mean next time they fell, I could break.
And I did.
Pride made me build the walls.
And pride made me build them again.
And pride broke me.
