Pride (Silhouette) [Poem]

Driving by, the darkened trees
They line the road like a coast, a silhouetted sea
Nothing ever overcomes the darkness,
Except for the stars, which appear to be harmless

As I look up at the twilight sky
The star's light reveals the tears in my sad eyes
When I finally realized what I have been missing
But also, the one thing I have too much of

Is such a thing called pride... a blessing or a curse?
The silhouettes of darkness immerse my confidence, oh, but could it be worse?
Sadly, my pride is all I have
Without it, the cold, sharp wind would simply blow me away

Not knowing what else to do
I do nothing, although, I wish there was something
Is there nothing I can do now? My pride is now all I own...
Despite all this, I feel most at peace, when I'm alone

However I wish it were not so,
I don't know where else I can go
The silhouetted trees cease to grow
I cannot see over them

My pride blinds me; it governs my darkness, even pushes me to my limits
There is no confidence within me, it's all I can permit
This is what I feel, a deep void that is filled with tears
But it soon runs dry again, just to be filled once again with all my fears

The stars shine through, piercing brightly
Though their light I cannot see
My pride has blinded me
Strayed from the path, my tears have blurred my sight

Although the darkness has overcome everything
There's still the light of those distant stars
That look down on me, the pathetic thing
Who's confidence has been lost long ago...

However I wish it were not so,
I don't know where else I can go
The silhouetted trees grow
I cannot... see over them.
