Leaving Behind the Pride

by Nicole M. - Gemini

Past fires
That left scars that go past the bones
And fear fresh in the blood
The only remedy
Is pride and coldness-
But one got through
As far as one could go
Further than anyone before
Well
Almost anyone
And you stop her there
Affraid what will happen
If you care again
If once again
You become vulnerable
To possible fires-
But so caught up in the fear of fire
You forget the prospect
Of contentment and rain of happiness.
Just keep in mind
It's not the fear of fire
That is keeping you from the rain
But the smoke inside of you
Holding your pride-
You say you want to love 
To find another one-
News flash-
They can't get through the smoke
In your head.
