Shame
Oh, what a shame that it must be
For me to feel so deserted, so lonely
No one to befriend me, no one that can see
The pain on the inside, the pain that I hide
The times I’ve tried, to make this life work
The times I’ve failed, and the emptiness that lurks
Deep within the depths and the pit of my soul
My inner voice silent, my struggles untold
Will I ever unfold, the sheer mysteries of this earth
Will I ever discover my life’s worth
Humiliation, agony, lessons of youth
Life isn’t worth living, unless someone has proof
Does anyone know the truth, about life and success
For I am ashamed to be living, ashamed to take a breath
