Shades

bruised face,crushed teeth,a fractured mind
scars on the body and a hollow spine.

dark stains cover me body and soul
the horrid marks of impurity,terrible sins i've commited,
all the things i can't hide.

i wear it over my skin the story of my past,the present,
and the future i want to deny but now i see...

forgivness no longer exists for me.
