Burden of being good

Pride

Burden of being good

I’m good but

I carry the burden of being good

in my pride and aloofness

in my sense of greatness

in the elevated space

I walk the aisle of pride

Looking down on them

Keeping a record of their flaws

I always try to hold to high standards

In me stays a goodness monster
