Pride (From the Seven Deadly Sins Collection)

I wasn't wrong, I did everything right, I have never made a mistake in my life
It was destiny, it was fate, it was meant to be this way
Saying it all outloud, hoping they'll believe my take on my particular situation in life
I'll never admit that I was wrong.  I'll never admit my decisions I regret, they won't prove me wrong, not just yet
I will show them that they were wrong and I was right.
Maybe I have too much pride.
I can't admit I'm weak... to those that surround me.  Though at times I wish to break down and cry... and show them the pain that has rotted my softer side...
I never will.. I simply have too much pride.
I'll never let their words hurt me, at least I won't let them see if they do
I'll just turn my pain into anger and let them suffer my wrath, though my voice quives and shakes when t hey hit a nerve... I stand tall and refuse to swallow my pride... they hit a nerve but I refuse to cry.
I refuse to admit I was wrong.  Dammit all, don'tcha know that I'm always right...
I did what was best for me, don't you know I'm just trying to preserve my sanity...
You will never be right, not about me!
I have my pride to keep me strong!  And as long as I have that, then I can never be wrong.
But my pride is hurting me, and slowly inside it is killing me.  As I refuse to acknowledge and create a blockage of pain... never allowing the tears to flow.  Even though... I want to cry out that I was wrong and find a way to heal... My pride will never let me acknowledge it... My Pride will never let me feel
So I continue on.. blind to what I see
Blind to the world around me
All because I am too proud
So in pride's shackles I am forever bound

Sloth (you guessed it!  Another deadly sin!)

I do not want to get up to face this day
Crawling out of bed seems like to much work
So I lay there and dream my life away
Dream of what I could be doing, instead of actually doing it
And for the time being it seems like it's worthwhile
Then one day I wake up and see that I have drowned in a sea of self denial
I wasted my life because I was too scared to work so I could one day play
Sloth has become the dice I roll in this game I play

I couldn't do it.. I was too weak
I guess I was just too lazy to really see
If I could.. do over again... I wish I would
But in life there is no do overs
Life doesn't wait for those who hide under the covers
Either we come out and join it, or It passes us by
That is the cold reality of the element of time
Dreams become bittersweet as Time eventually stomps them with its feet
And its too late because we were too late
....Attempting to achieve immortality.. but it all becomes a moment in time
And our names are forgotten when we die
Never taking the time to make a difference
Never giving anything in return
Dreams don't come alive in your head..
We must raise ourselves out of bed!
