Pride

It's quiet right now



Is that good or bad?



I hear no crying.



Are you happy



Or an unrevealed sad?



Sitting alone in the dark



It's where you want to be.



With no one to hold you



Or even care to see.



You're afraid of what they may think



And of what they may say.



So you hide.



Saving yourself from the pain.



It's not how it use to be.



You have truly changed.



It's so hard to help you



When you turn everyone away.



It seems like you can't give up this act.



Not knowing if its real or just a play



What are you so afraid of?



It's obvious I'm not going away.



You were the one I could turn to



When times got rough



Now I'm alone in the dark



Cause all of a sudden,



You've gotten tough.



It's plain to see I have no say



As much as it hurts,



I'm not caring today



I'm realizing I can't let this run my life



But I refuse to say goodbye



A true friend doesn't walk out



So I'm one of the few you've got left.



I'm forevermore here for you.



No matter what you put me through.



Through thick and thin



I will not hide



Like you in the dark



Next to your best friend, Pride
