Ashamed Poems - Poems about Ashamed

Looking back, I’m ashamed of what I was, A mirror shows the choices I regret. In shadows of the past, I see my flaws, Yet wisdom’s light has guided me, I bet. I wandered lost, each step a trial’s cost, With every wrong turn, pain would carve its mark. Yet from the struggle, lessons were embossed, And in each failure, hope would...

Looking around our country and the world as I’ve watched hatred and misogyny soar I have to wonder why more people aren’t ashamed of these feelings anymore? Then again, I’m too old for you to ban the history I’ve read… a history that shall and should never be forgotten… I know our great acts as a people…as well as...

I felt ashamed when I realized that, in fact, Life is a masquerade party, where I stood without a mask, I wandered with my uncovered face beneath the chandeliers, Among specters and shadows hiding their secrets under false veneers. In a vast hall, where echoes were hushed, I, with my raw sincerity, like a secretive flush, Watched them waltz, twirling in...

Proverbs 16:18 (KJV) “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” I’ve been ashamed, Ashamed of my lack of understanding, My lack of consideration, My lack of care and concern, My lack of admiration. I’ve been ashamed, Ashamed of the way I acted… When things didn’t go the way I planned, When I just couldn’t let go of the past, When, despite...

Frostbite so ashamed yet I see no teeth my flesh hurt I'm in pain Brain teaser so ashamed I have a headache a massive migraine Grizzly so ashamed I'm a hairy human male and I haven't shaved Ghost I'm invisible so ashamed to you and to you you can't see me Tongue tied so ashamed I can't...

Knowing very well won't ask how are you; Understand how much stressful to be lone; Believe me, since you left all my joy flown; Know you're sad, I'm also in hardship too. Don't want to express what I'm going through to return home, it's punishment for me; There's limitation to lead life carefree. Life soon became bored; just waiting for you. Thinking...

At the Hospital ——————————- Today as skin was torn Off the bottom of my foot, I yelled out and began to cry. I thought, “How often Do I need to prove my strength?” and Then, for the first time in 50 years, I heard myself Ask God,”Why? Why?” At which I Instantly felt ashamed, for it is mine To accept whatever He allows. Then,...

I am not here to please you. Far apart, broken hearted, from the start. We no longer share one heart. In confusion, torn apart, in disillusion. I do not wish to live in seclusion. Not ashamed of who I am. Its better for you to move on without me. I'm just letting life be. The truth one day I want to see. The future...

As incredulously the second hand ticks cuckoo tock And malevolent the noon is high I amongst the many few Gaze upon the circumspect Of the floating traveling ghosts slowly moon-walking by Trying best not to reflect the stained glass mirror watching back Drawing their attention to what has gone before Safely entrenched i whisper lie behind 3 locked bolted door Inbetween elongated gulps of breaths to ward away...

What I thought would be a moment of weakness turned into a moment of bravery When I was 15, my suicide note turned into a poem that saved me All I could do was use a pen to express the pain in my heart They are proof that I survived so I'm no longer ashamed of...

A drag of another cigarette the nicotine courses through my veins, It's not dope but it'll have to do, it's true the effects are not the same, It distinctively lacks the same power, same danger, the elation of the adrenaline and euphoria, Instead, I'm left to exhale smoke filled self-pity, Envy causing my mute mind...
