My Pride

How can you take pride in something that is not yours?
How can you create something that has been created before,
change it a little, and then call it yours?
Pride is an overused term.
To be prideful, it must be earned.
My mind is nothing like yours.
My mind’s minds are nothing like yours.
All my mind’s thoughts are separate.
All thinking something different
To build something they all agree on.
Something thoughtful.
Not something fraudful.
Take pride in your own thoughts.
Your thoughts are priceless.
A gift that cannot be bought.
The world’s concept of pride is watching your thoughts
Sink into quicksand.
Aching, shaking, and feeling for solid land.
Be mindful.
Be thoughtful.
And maybe sometimes, be prideful.
