I am proud
too much proud few say
used to walk
with head held high many say
still I do
with much more pride than yesterday.
I have been tagged proud
by my friends in school
as well as in college
even my siblings call me so
claim I not to be proud
as I am simple as ever.
How come I am seen proud?
I deliberate for a moment
am left clueless all the more
a light flashes through in a sudden
being quiet and withdrawn from the crowd
could be misunderstood in all possibility
as being proud.
Let all call me proud
I bother not any more
it being a quality much acclaimed
adorns me without any fuss
I am glad to hold my head high
know you well I am proud.
