About This Poem
Covering my Face
I cover my face
For I have some shame
But behind my hands
I still am
And the shame is still there
My face burns
Through my hands
And the imprint
Of my face
Exists of the surface
On my hands
Showing my shame
That I have acquired
Shame of not loving enough
You deserve so much more
Than my shameful face
That holds its form
On the outside of my hands
Can you see me
By the form
Of my shame
That is shown
Through my face
On my hands
That tried to cover
My shameful face
But failed
Will you forgive me
For my wrong
For my lies
For my falsehood
For my shame
That I carry on
My face
Russell Sivey
