TATTERS OF MY PRIDE I'd ask them to go away if I could tell the stars to hide that I may shed the few drops I have left of what I once called my pride.
The darkness of the night isn't enough to hide my shameful face the tears I have shed in shame are lost in a thirsty earth's embrace.
I thank you for staying quiet I thank you for your care I thank you for looking away from the things I cannot share.
If the sun rises to find me now my nakedness I will hide in a smile that is so false like the tatters of my pride.
