Shhh…. don’t wake sleeping Pride
With silken fetters she will make me prisoner
Pull out my tongue and sew my lips
My broken heart or tears, she will never heed.

Shhh…. don’t wake sleeping Pride

Pride – Is it a she ????
Written well, Shail !!!
Aren’t there both kinds?? But the one who takes me prisoner (if at all) will be a ‘She’ Pride never a ‘He’!
If He Pride dares I will definitely punch him. 
lol
Good punch !! Loved it !!!
Ok guys I am not in Australia. Wonder why Airtel says that I am! *baffled Shail*
So true! I could say something similar to my Pride also
Though sometimes Pride can be empowering also – helps us take no nonsense.
Yeah true. I wish that pride (empowering kind) would be active ALWAYS.
Pride they say goeth before a fall
but it sure doesn’t let you crawl
and when it comes making a call
it will not mind about anything at all.
Shail, Is a ‘she’ pride stronger than a ‘he’ pride?
Lol, that was in reply to Uma. Pride is Pride. For me its a ‘she’ That’s all.
well scribbled, poet of the fall:)
Thanks Calvy
My pride is a She too..my muse is a He. She is restless and He is depressed. I wish, she was sleeping and he was happy.
Same pinch Rashmi. But He is not depressed though, at least I think not or maybe he is
Very nice poem. Thanks for sharing.
Once again, your writing puts your readers in a better position
to see (and to “benefit” from that insight).
And thanks for sharing.
