Ride with pride
#WritcoPoemPrompt48
Write a poem about a time that your illusions of someone or something were shattered.

ride with your pride,
for I did not.
I live in misery and disppear,
for at night, you can't see the colors of pride.

Ride with pride,
for every life is short.
I live in total darkness,
for I am abused by cruel people.

Ride with even the littlest bit of pride,
don't let people shatter you as I did.
people took my rights away,
they saw me as a threat even as a little child.

Ride with any pride,
for once glass shatters it cannot be fixed.
As when paper is torn it's never the same,
our hearts are the glass, our bodies the paper.
