My stomach is tight.
My emotions are raw.
But I continue to fight
And that is my flaw.
Pride is my Sin,
But forever I’ll hide.
Still I’m a glutton to win;
Just empty inside.
Afraid to spread hurt.
Scared of the world,
Of words I might spurt,
Or desires unfurled.
So in my cage I will stay,
Not making much sound,
Seeking a gateway
That’ll never be found.
