i can be proud

without being conceited

i can have pride in myself

without being self important

i can be proud

without rising above others

i can have pride in myself

without being self centred

i can be proud

without being better

i can have pride in myself

without feeling that i am better

i am proud

of who i am

of what i have accomplished

of the person i have become

i have pride in myself

for being that person

without

changing toward others
