    Pride

    My name is pride. I am a cheater.
    i cheat you of your God - given destiny.....
    Because you demand your own way.
    I cheat you of Contentiment.....
    Because you "deserve better than this".
    I cheat you of Knowledge.....
    Because you already know it all.
    I cheat you of Healing..........
    Because you're too full of me to forgive.
    I cheat you of Holiness.....
    Because you refuse to admit when you're wrong.
    I cheat you of vision.....
    Because you'd rather look in mirror than out a window.
    I cheat you of Genuine Friendship.....
    Because nobody's going to know the real you.
    I cheat you of Love.....
    Because real romance demands sacrifice.
    I cheat you of Greatness in Heaven.....
    Because I convince you to seek your own.
    My name is pride. I am a cheater.
    You like me because you think I'm always looking out for you.
    UNTRUE!!!
    I'm looking to make a fool of you. God has so much for you, I admit, but don't worry if you stick with me you'll never know.
    My name is PRIDE!!!

    I like this, but clean it up. Use spell check. You are cheating yourself, because this is sloppy. It is good, but too sloppy to be considered too seriously by anyone that reads. Look at what you capitalized and consider if it should be so. Emphasis is fair and well, but learning to punctuate, capitalize and spell are givens when writing gems that try to save others from their own private hell . .

    I don't agree with your comment so keep your comments to yourself. Many people have read this and I never had a comment like this before. So thank you but no thank you.

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
