Am I arrogant
She asks
No little Cricket
You are confident
There's a difference
She gazes into the distance
For just one moment
Then speaks
So when you are confident
You believe in yourself
When you are arrogant
You believe you are better than
Everyone else
Just so
We both exhale
Perhaps at times it pays to believe
You are better
Believing in yourself only gets you so far
But makes you kinder
She whispers
We lie down and rub our tummies
Full of sugar and milk
The day is drawing to a close
We do not need to speak
To know if it was a good
Or a bad day
It just was
As they all just are
Time spiralling
Thoughts wandering
Bodies aching and sore.
