Swallow your pride. But take it slow. You might just choke on it. And you wouldn't want to do a thing like that. What's left inside without your words And fists to hold them up? Can you look at it without rose colored lenses? Doesn't speak too well of you. You crawl to pass their tests. I would like to help you but I'm not sure who to address. There are so many of you. Used to be just one. Lost you to the other side To promises of fun. Do you define yourself by some remembered set of empty phrases? Do you question them at all? Is what you do and what you say just following companions? Do you do it from fear of not belonging? I don't condemn you. I know that we've all got to cling to something To find our way through this life. Just look inside and see if your beliefs have any meaning. Or are they something that you found?
