Loss of Pride by Ashley Staton-14
I'm cast like shadows into darkness, not knowing where I've been.
My hearts been trampled more than once, I'm not sure where it'll end.
I feel the pain time after time, prisoner to this never-ending chain.
I ask myself what I'm good for, and never find the answer.
I'm wishing for a future with love and happy laughter.
But after so long you can't hold on any longer.
My pride's fading faster and faster with every passing day.
There seems to be no reason to hang on any longer, so I guess I'll let him stay.
I can feel your hands all over me now, but I'm not sure who you are.
I know our love's for granted, we must cherish it by far.
I'm in way too deep, Your advantage is a tease.
You squeezed through the bars, I can't believe you got this far.
I'm prisoner to this war. My heart is telling me this is wrong.
My mind is telling me it's all I'm good for.
All the while I know it's not.
I know they won't be proud of me.
I know I won't be either.
But I'm trapped inside a place where no one seems to mind.
It's all over now, all my pride was raped from me.
Now I'm screaming from the pain, the little one will be here soon.
I'm not proud of what I've done and I realize what I've lost.
Now piece by piece I'll put my life back together.
Never again will I trace my steps.
I'll follow my heart and do what's best.
Now I start my Quest.
