The 7th Deadly Sin

With a head held high
and a seat next to Satan,
I already know I’m the best
among all creation.
…
Aided by Pride
I am truly blessed
Pride is not a sin
it gives a chance to embrace the best.
…
With a mirror as an asset
I dominate the living and the dead
With friends and family who embraced Pride
there is nothing to dread.
…
I got plenty of gifts today from Pride:
a crown of gold fitting me perfectly
a knife for my mouth to hurt the ones who hurt me
and a throne of high self-esteem which I earned earnestly.
…
Bow your head to Pride
and you shall reign like me
after all, I am Pride’s favorite
I am offering you a chance to be free.
I really hope you liked this series! This was the last sin in the series and I really enjoyed writing these poems! If you would like to read poems about the other sins, click right here!

Hi! I am a 13-year-old currently studying in the Netherlands. For 5 years, I was studying in London and moved to India for some time in July 2019. First of all, I love playing the western flute and have been playing for quite a few years now. Playing and also, listening to music is definitely my passion. Some sports I enjoy playing are badminton, netball, swimming, football, cricket (these are the top 5!). Ok, so let’s talk about poetry. I wrote my first poem in a primary school in England and this inspired me to start writing poems on WordPress. Some of my recent poems are about global issues such as climate change, depression, bullying etc. Writing poetry is another passion of mine…so, check out my poems on WordPress. I don’t know what else I could say here so, hope you love my poems…..happy reading!!
Omg!! This was the best series!! 😍😍😍😍😍💕💕💕
