My Pride
My Pride
Here I sit stagnant
between disturbia and progression
I can stay where it is safe
half way between what is known and what is wonder
I can hide in fear
of what is above, below and asunder
I can hold you in a darkness
like a blanketing shadow around me
Obscure and unknown
I am distant, guarded and overthrown
I breathe in , I breathe out
I breathe trust , I breathe doubt
I am cluttered, scattered; amidst a divide
and I lay down this bridge
to cross on my pride....
