Dying Out Loud Poem by Carl Mehmet

When I look back now
Only time could tell me how,
I was dying inside
Looking through the glass of pride

When I see how I died
How I fell...
Nobody to confide,
I put on my masks to hide

Looking beyond my shroud
I was dying out loud
And only time could tell me how

Now I see beyond the clouds...
I don't look at myself and feel proud

I was dying inside
Now I'm alive and free to lay my masks aside.
