Proud

Pride goes before destruction

Walking with heads held high

The haughty ones soon will fall

No faith without works to be shown

You must see the proof before any are believed

Is love like this for you as well?

Must a miracle occur for you to see

That when I reached out to you

You took without a word and threw me to the ground

Without even looking back

You spit on me and never gave me another chance

Even in my sin of doing nothing at all

The sin that I always seem to be blamed for

Speak the words that you are proud of me

And it all means nothing when I'm not proud of myself

Craving for me to see the me that other may see

There is this part of me that drives to be free

You were never the one who cared

More love came from perfect strangers them from thee

The perfecters of my hatred

Creating thoughts in me that make me bleed

I must stand for something today and it must be me

To be proud that I am changing the ways you've set for me

So hard to see past the fires you start to end me

I will break through and fight until the end time

Showing all that I can once and for all be proud of me
