    Footprints of yesterdays men
    remain in our present hearts,
    until even we are forgotten.

    So many dreams that we
    have sought, but how many
    have come back to us?

    An unhealthy glow, caused by
    a lack of will, lack of care,
    and lack of understanding.

    I don't need to be shown
    what I'm missing,
    I already know my flaws.

    The biggest part of me
    digging deep and
    echoing out into the halls.

    Can't stop coughing out reasons
    and excuses and ways not
    to show you why

    The quiet guy just doesn't
    feel happy being quiet
    and shy anymore.

    This pen cap bears the
    brunt of my inner-most
    worries and doubts.

    My mind holds the scars of
    passing up life and sitting
    by in the loud spaces.

    Sometimes overbearing thoughts
    and great notions are
    over looked for a safer hell.

    And believing it's just as
    well, we hide away
    from the daylight hours.

    I want my wings to sprout,
    I want my lungs to shout,
    I want to be free from
    my darker self and my
    indecisive behaviour.

    Where's my saviour?

    Hiding in the cloudiness
    of my mind.

    Beautiful. It sums up how I feel a lot of the time, but I find it hard to express things in words that flow as fluent as your poem. =)
