OUR PRIDE RAN OUT

Our pride ran out,
So we ran after it.
We chased it down the road till we caught up with it.
We took it by the hand,
And lifted it up.
We made sure it stood firm;
We woke its legs up.
They saw us in public,
Brushing it up.
They said a lot of things like
"we were making it up".
It took a whole day,
But we made it stand up.
It was immature,
So we made it grow up.
We spent energy in chasing it;
So it was time to pay up.
We drank our pride back in,
So now, we could sit up.
We bowed our heads in shame;
But now we could look up.
We were stigmatized and bruised;
Now we could chin up.
Now we've got our pride back,
It was time to man up.
Cos once we were down,
Today we're allowed up.

Too often, though, the biggest thing standing in the way may be your own habits. Here eight of the worst creativity killers. If you recognize them in your life, cut them out now.

Ghost

GHOST They claimed I was there. They claimed I was seen. They claimed I belonged. They claimed I was needed. They claimed. So as they turned my significance on and off, I pretended day and night were passing by. And as they hid me under my own shadow to rot, I wondered. Why did I die? They passed through my accomplishments as though I never existed. Never heard me when I spoke. Never saw me when I appeared. Never paid attention to who I really was. Hmm ----- So I stood before them as they deceitfully read a tribute to me. They cried with utmost care for their make-up, not me. They wore their black on their party clothes and ---- Not me. So I am a ghost. One who is never seen, Never heard, And never spoken to. I see, I hear, I speak. The way of the ghost is never understood because it’s never noticed. The troubles of the world never get to me. Only the heat does. I am the ghost of all times. I am -----
