Shame

Running down the dark circles of yesterdays memories

Circling the shame and remembering the sickness of the behaviors used to cope

Coping became another way of shaming a broken soul

Don't let the light shine if your not ready to expose the shame

Don't talk about it and try and hide

Hiding is a full time disposition and demands all that is left

Emptiness threatens to steal what is lost 

Open the light of the soul

 A floodgate of emotion will drowned the shame back into its rightful place
