Another form of arrogance

It is a given fact

It must be true

Because my mind says so

Everything

Always

Is all about me….

Oh it is not that I believe

That I am the center

The one who must be noticed and admired

Like the star of the play

The belle of the ball

It is more a matter of taking everything on

All the hurts

And the failures

All the rejection

If something is negative is present

It must be about me

What did I say

Or do?

How did I fail?

How was I did not measure up?

In a way that is indeed

Arrogance

To believe that I am that important

Even in failure

Lord deliver me from myself

Help me to understand

That all I can do is be me

And in the moment

Do the best I can

The outcome?

Ultimately that is up to YOU
