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
