Self Loathing

The floor scrubbed raw but still they reflect
Stains from my own mess of stupidity and regret

A contaminant leper for all to see
This holy place I should be forsaken to be

My tainted soul shown through the cracking mirrors
I do not deserve even one of your tears

This corpse is rotting from the inside out
Cries of forgiveness from my mouth so desperately shout
