Part 3:The Fall of Pride

A scream slips through my lips

as the haze does clear

realizations push upfront

as memories fill my eyes.

The pain excrutiates

I feel my heart go numb

unused for so long.



I try to stand

to free myself of my prison

while you laugh and step back

as I struggle

unable to breathe, to think

my pride slips away

thuogh my face remains the same.

I reach for your hand

you look away,

my tears finally fall

you see me for who I am

broken and weathered.

My pride is lost

as you help me up

and an unknown price is paid.

"I feel my heart go numb
unused for so long."

that is the bebst part man
who hasn't felt that

i don't really love the second part but its not bad

but i do love the poem still
