Arrogance is not self-confidence
The tall poppies will get cut down
A chest swollen with pride will get
Snuffed out, rubbed out into the ground
Because there’s always someone bigger
The kings come and go each day
What is that high opinion hiding?
Always causing offence in this way
Second attempt at writing an 8-line poem about what offends me. I avoided pronouns in this and was trying to put myself into the position of being offended by something but it didn’t quite work out.
Submitted to FOWC – Arrogant
Today I’m feeling:
Really sick. I woke up in the middle of the night, having to run to the bathroom a couple of times. Then after waking up, I had to go again and then threw up too.
I went to school but decided to come back quickly and got back into bed, getting up again at 5 pm.
Hopefully, I can sleep tonight and feel better tomorrow.
Today I’m grateful for:
Royal-D electrolytes and carbon for calming my guts and replacing things that evacuated.
