Tower of Shame
Shame
Remains the same
But, I'm sure I'm its victim
IT SURE NEEDS A TRIM...
I feel ugly and slim
Devour
The tower
Of darkness
Leading me to distress...
I'm in a miserable mess
Kill
The pill
Of sadness
Swallowing me whole - I'm hopeless
My gratitude transforms to frustration...
Do you sense my agitation...?
Feel
The steel
In MY heart
Pounding me to death...
COULD ANYONE TAKE HEART?
ARE YOU GOING TO LET THE MONSTERS
TEAR ME APART??
COWER
Away from the
Dark and morbid tower
OF SHADINESS
Throwing bricks at me...
I'm choking on the dry paint of filthiness
Do you hear my screams?
Do you feel my stress?
Will you keep me in your dreams?
Do you want me to be full of happiness?
Do you want to rest for the day
OR put it aside and increase my dismay?
SHAME
Has no beautiful name
But, it sure gets me
Worked up and distressed...
When I look back at the tower,
I don't feel the best...
Let me flee!! Let me rest...
...or I'll feel tired and depressed
