derrick foster - Ambivalent Pride

Be proud of who you are.
Be not ambiguous.
What you see is all there is.
But, I’m so much more than that
As for pride, Leo I am.
Pride runs through and through,
Backed by full confidence.
Be myself? Who else could I be?
I’m all I can be defiantly.
I was born this way.
Why do you look at me so strangely?
I’m not boasting.
Are you expecting me to hit…On you? Touch you?
Or have I gone too far?
Actually I already have.
Know this, I ‘m above it.
It’s too obvious and a waste of my time.
Try to see something else.
Take a look from the other side.
Lean a little to the left.
