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
