Arrogance

Arrogance.

Maybe that's me
If it is
Then I'm sorry.

Maybe that's you
If that's true
You know what to do.

Maybe its neither
Then I'm sorry
For the bother.

Still
What is arrogance?
A puffed-up fool?
An overconfident persona?
A boastful idiot?

Maybe its just a slip of the tongue
Or a poor choice of words.
Maybe its a cover up,
A mask from what really lies within.

Never judge a book by its cover
Or a person by his initial appearance.

In truth
Arrogance often belies insecurity
And a need for acceptance too

So don't judge the arrogant
But pity them
They need love more than you do
