Ashamed

Ashamed
   I see what you have and I want it.
I am immediately ashamed.
   Indignant over the fact that these feelings could breed with in me;
dismayed at the buckeye of truth that may lie dormant.
   Time has a way of encouraging one on their way.
To feel crowded and herded onto the paths that are tamped down before us.
   Expectation in the abstract is just a thought.
However, once that possibility comes anywhere near, it is time to move on.
   An epiphany cures all.
