Pride

My biggest obstacle is probably pride

It holds me back

it distracts me

from my spiritual path

I can consciously let things go

But when my mind relaxes

I find myself

Plotting revenge

thinking about ways

To stop those

that got the best of me

and

expose them for who they really are

I work on this daily

I wish more than anything

That I could just let things go

This pertains to

People who have lied to get ahead

People who lied to get even with me

And even things that are silly

Like political lies

And the fact that

Some people can break the rules

and nobody cares

And probably the biggest

Is the way that

nobody seems to realize

That Christianity

Was built on murdering and torturing

Those that didn’t believe

It’s built on lies

And the holidays

Are celebrated on pagan holidays

It was done deliberately

and with the intent

to pull the focus away from

the original meaning of the holidays.

It’s silly

Those things really shouldn’t affect me

I let my pride get in the way

Of being free and happy

Humans are

Deceptive

Tricky

Mean

And selfish

For me to expect people

To be any different

Is just foolishness on my part

My unrealistic expectations

Cause me pain

My mission for the next year

Will be to work hard

On inner peace

And

Being more realistic

When it comes with dealing

with the actions of others

In short

I’m going to work on my pride
