Too full of pride to let it show
too stuborn to give in
when every morning awake is a stab in the chest
and every night's sleep is a nightmare
nowhere to turn
nowhere to go back
Too full of pride to let it show
too stuborn to give in
when every thought electricutes you into weakness
when every memory brings you to hidden tears
nowhere to turn
nowhere to go back
when finally you want to scream
when finally you want to wake from this dream
longing to be free
you're held back by the ropes of pride
too stubborn to give in
Even though every stab goes straight through the heart
wounding then wounding again
You continue to hide the pain
pretending that nothing was wrong
Too full of pride to let it show
too stubborn to give in

lovely! thanks so much for entering, I'll love you forever for it! But back to your piece (I know, honestly tadashi! would be your line) (Sorry, I'm a little chattery and excited you entered ... I've read your stuff before ... AND LOVED IT just ... didn't leave a comment ...) anyway ... this was wonderful ... and I loved the format, and how well I can relate!
