pride

i'm too restless to surrender
too satisfied with lesser things
too sated to feel hunger
too shallow to cry out

i'm too busy to notice
all the lost souls around me
i'm too narrow minded focused
on nothing else but me

i'm too strong to understand
too sufficient to see my need
too dependent on myself
too stubborn to confess

i'm too noisy to listen
to more than just my words
too dumb to figure out
there's more to life than this

i'm too rushed to smell the roses
too harried to slow down
too proud to bend the knee
Lord i beg you - deliver me from me
