lay your pride aside

Do you want the honest truth?  I'm terrified that I'll never find love.  It's a persistent fear that I try to silence, and I've become so good at it at times I feel it becomes a thing of pride.  Of course I don't need somebody to stick around and hold my hand when the sun goes down, to make me laugh when all I feel like doing is screaming.  Why would I require another human being to give me praise and accolades when I can revel in the fact that I've accomplished something I'm proud of all by myself?  Do you see where I'm going with this?  It's incredibly unhealthy, I think, to inhabit that state of mind.  I just want somebody to realize that I can't always be an open book, can't always be the shoulder to lean on.  I can't always be the best listener and i can't always have infinite advice.  I can't always be there when you need me.

I need somebody to realize I'm weak sometimes, too.  And damn it, I'm needy!
