Annoyed Anger and Ashamed

i am annoyed and the world for letting it happened
disappointed that i let it get that way 
when i have worked so hard for it not to
i am annoyed at everyone for not working hard enough to stop it

i am anger the place that i had once called home
regret seems to seep into my heart 
once my defense's are down
i am anger for not being there to stop it

I am ashamed at myself for the way things are
for not having the courage to stand up for what's right
pity full looks at unknown friends who say they are there when there not
I am ashamed for letting life get to me so badly

why is it always the unexpected who are the danger
do we want to get hurt? do we set ourselves up for a greater fall
we are alone in the world, it is time to accept it no one is there for us.
that is why i am annoyed for it. anger at it not, and ashamed for believing.
