Lacking Character
To my own faults I am a coward
Fearing the failures, the future, the fallen crumpled optimistic dreams
Calling for character, for courage, for countless bounty of self-esteem
To my own heart I am sour
To my own mind I am weak
But he battles, he breaks, he bears the burden I alone can not contain
Yet he yearns, he yells, he yanks me from my frustrating pain
To my own self I am broken
To my own soul I will mend
