Struggling

I have a friend that's struggling

With feelings locked inside

From something that he did

That took away his pride

Pride is something we all need

To help us make it through

The days that lie ahead of us

And with everything we do

To lose our pride is something

That is painful to regain

But facing all the wrongs we did

Will make us strong and proud again

To admit a wrong takes courage

To dwell on it's a shame

For in this lifetime we all know

That guilt can drive us all insane

It takes away our spirit

To be the best that we can be

But if we face it head on

Our guilt can be set free

I have the faith that you my friend

Will be feeling better soon

For you have faced what you felt was wrong

You've done all that you could do

Except to heal that heart of yours

But that will take some time

As I know how you are feeling

Please don't keep it locked inside

You have a lot of friends that care

And will always help you through

You aren't alone by any means

Just remember your friends care too
