Where do you find escape from pride?

Question:Inside, your pride
Lay broken
Shattered onto
The many pieces
You would now give
To any pair of passing hands
The shards fall-
In a cold shoulder
To help given
Wisdom being exiled
With yet another shrapnel piece
Yet when it is all over
And you have no more pride to give
What will you be left with
But a legacy of piercing pieces
And no one to pity you

And you have no more pride to give
What will you be left with
But a legacy of piercing pieces

Once again, an absolutely astonishing poem that leaves me quite breathless. There is so much pathos and wisdom in your words, in one wonderful line after another. Does one find escape from pride? Yes, I think so, in uncomplicated and unconditional compassion for oneself as well as everybody else.

Well this is just your day to be prolific isn't it. I feel shame, but good, you're so much better...I remember the old stuff. Now, my socks are halfway across the room, thank ya very much. This is full of beautiful lines, I don't think I could describe them all but "Wisdom being exiled" hello the problem of the young, yes I admit to it, and "The shards fall-/in a cold shoulder." I'm shuddering, but it's cold outside and raining. This is stunning. As to where I find escape from pride...my all too evident imperfections. Blessed Be.

I do not escape pride,
embracing it
allowing it
to humble me,
for my pride,
dearest darling,
is in you.

Blossom on.

This one needs be read through more than even twice to fully take in its meaning. Though I understand the jest it will be enjoyed by many to savor this one Rouxe.

Lovely words with so much pain and sorrow.I think your really fantastic .Your poems really touch my soul.

I'm so confused *sniff* sniff* I feel that it isn't too complicated so what have you done? Oh I know your a ninja right? You've taken your katana and sliced right through my brain...

pride is our only downfall
