Pride

by Harshita Das aged 11

There she stood, against the wall
Her face regal, proud and tall
Not a mistake she could bear
Being proved wrong was her greatest fear

In the tainted sea of choices
I knew she’d drown
Her bad choices and decisions
I knew they’d take her down

She’d shut down all those close to her
To say that she was always right
And standing low, she was afraid
That she might lose her pride
