"PRIDE" Poem

Hope you enjoy this poem I wrote about the nature of pride and arrogance.

                                                                        PRIDE
I live to destroy relationships.
I may act like I can make you feel better about yourself, but eventually I'll tear you down just like my other victims,
If you hold on to me long enough, you'll learn how to effectively hurt others.
The more you try to quiet me, the louder I'll become.
I become stronger and deadlier day by day, as more and more people adopt me.
I don't care about anyone or anything, other than myself. I am the center of my own universe.
I cause tears, heart-breaks, and ruthless behavior.
No mortal is immune to me and my destructive powers.
I can thrive on all levels of society if you let me.
I am a very false friend.
If you are somewhat wise, you'd stay as far away as possible from me.
I am obnoxious and cunning.
I ruin beauty and I can ruin you too.
