Lucifer and our hubris

Pride scares me more than other sins, 

Modesty is a quality I’m desperate to obtain. 

Never be too proud, 

‘Cause the fall will alway be too great. 

You see, me and Lucifer have the same name 

Luci meaning light, 

If my name means anything 

I too may fall into arrogance and pride. 

What if I do? 

If my wings are torn from my back 

Will those I love spit on me? 

Spurn me from turning 

Away from that precious light? 

Can they leave me stranded? 

I wish they would. 

I wish they could.
