Taking Pride Too Far Poem by Francis Duggan

Without boasting it is nice to feel proud of who you are
Though feeling superior is taking pride too far
And though many may claim you are best at what you do
One day number one can drop to number two
You have your own fan club your praises they sing
But too much praise for the ego is not always a good thing
And a saying from the past that applies to all
That pride it always does come before a fall
The praise of others has gone to your head
This is what happens when only nice things of you are said
Egotistical people i meet every day
With success they tend to get carried away
There is nothing wrong at being proud of who you are
Though feeling superior is taking pride too far.
