Shame

I feel so ashamed,
There's no one to blame 
But my self..

Excruciating pain,
I try to scream but
Nothing comes out..

And I'm so far from where
I thought I'd be,
My thoughts won't let me escape from 
Me,
I tear myself down,
I wear myself out,
And I'll cry when no ones around 

Everything I had was taken away,
What felt like was less than a day,

And left me hopeless,
Yeah, It left me hopeless...

And I'm so far from where
I thought I'd be,
My thoughts won't let me escape from 
Me,
I tear myself down,
I wear myself out,
And I'll cry when no ones around 

Something's got to give,
Because I can no longer live,
In hurt and despair,
And not belonging anywhere...

Because I'm so far from where I thought I'd be,
I've been my own worst enemy..
I tear myself down,
I wear myself out,
I'm lost and want to be found....
