Shame

Oh, what a shame that it must be For me to feel so deserted, so lonely No one to befriend me, no one that can see The pain on the inside, the pain that I hide The times I’ve tried, to make this life work The times I’ve failed, and the emptiness that lurks Deep within the depths and the pit of my soul My inner voice silent, my struggles untold Will I ever unfold, the sheer mysteries of this earth Will I ever discover my life’s worth Humiliation, agony, lessons of youth Life isn’t worth living, unless someone has proof Does anyone know the truth, about life and success For I am ashamed to be living, ashamed to take a breath
