Pride interests me no more

I reexamined my ego

Into Self-Respect

Hope, stagnates me no more

I morphed my desires

Into actions.

Love drowns me no more

I accepted its existence

Entwined into my own.

Pain holds me back no more

I accepted the scars

As a part of my growth.

Waiting scares me no more

I realized its worth

Waiting in the cold.
