Wounded Pride

An outburst of anguish
A bowl full of failure
Not anger but heart
Pouring into the air
Another postponement
Getting better each time
With a vow of success
With a new plan in mind
Before long though a new one
With a high flying success
A thief of technique
Learning from her mistakes
A silence of sadness
Hidden tears find a pillow
Waiting for the heart
To mend the wounded pride
