Day Fourteen: Pride

[me] i have always been creative, i don't understand
aspired to be an artist, not a business man
[pride] you need to show your old man you're in control
to be successful, you'd sell you own soul!
[me] i've always been respectable, i don't understand
i tried to be compassionate, i'm not a ruthless man!
[pride] you need to show them you're superior, you lead the field
no one opposes you, all man must yield!
[me] i've always been affectionate, don't understand
i really love her, i'm not a heartless man!
[pride] you have no time for commitments, they get in the way
get down to business, there's no time to play!
[reason] you can still change, and right what is wrong
[pride] but can you swallow me, or am i too strong?
[reason] you have to get back now, it's not too late
[pride] it's not like you two resign to your fate
[reason] the loved ones are waiting, break out of you cage
[pride] you have the power, give in to your rage
[reason] listen to pride now, for once now he's right
[pride] listen to reason, let us be your guide
