Pride

Its just a few lines I came up with on a whim about pride and what it costs.

It doesn't matter if I cant win
I stand by,
Foolishly,
Head held high
I tell myself the usual lie
That I would rather die
Than letting fear pass me by
Than letting doubt cross my mind
Am I so fragile?
To choose pride over fear,
Over pain,
Over life.
