Painfully Ashamed

Privates left swollen, misfortune unasked Choosing to be alone Innocence stolen, beauty unmasked Choosing to be alone Taste my tears; embracing ease Hear my screaming whispers, please Oh desecrated sacred temple Once guarded by emotion & will Open to those who walked the path through my heart and got a gate pass Better to avoid judgment and laughter? Or be misunderstood forever after Bold on the surface, inside feeling cheap Forced to be alone Victimized pride, emotionless cheat Forced to stand on my own
