No Pride

Folder: 
Feelings Inside...

Struggling.

Crawling.

Through the darkest of many places

A relief to ease my pain

A song to help me forget

The past.

A nervousness and consciuosness

that will never die

A feeling in my spine

That will make me cry .

Discovery and wonder

Interferring with slumber.

A cure for my mind.

A way to pass the time.

A mumbling idiot within myself

brought out by demons,

flesh-eating monsters

Slowly killing each part

of your heart.

With eclipses of memories

a jolting of truth

finally, I remember my keys.

I bring out my hidden youth,

I bathe in the sea of depression

I lie awake at night baring tear stains

I walk under the clouds whenever it rains

I walk in the shadow left behind

Feeling my name, I hide

No Pride.
