This Side Of My Skin

I blame it for the pain 
As i try and understand its secrets
As it’s forms and folds wraps itself around me
Its supposed to protect the me from the world
But I cannot make sense of the curved markings painted across it
im supposed to take care of it
keep it smooth 
 perfect for the picture
but i am

Looking Back, I’m 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

We Are Not Ashamed of the Gospel

we will never be compunctious 
as we dwell in the body of Christ
and it matters not our race or color 
nor how we live our lives
we will never be ashamed
of the anointed Gospel Word
for we know the power it has
yet to others it seems absurd 

assassinated, crucified
He was hung high on a cross 
Jesus the

Premium MemberWHY AREN'T WE MORE ASHAMED

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

Premium MemberI felt ashamed when I realized that, in fact

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

Premium MemberShame

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

Premium MemberI Am Ashamed

Her face slowly melted away
In the dawn of new light
I realized I had only used her
To satisfy my lust
She became a victim
My selfishness killed something
Inside her --
Her loveliness --
And I am ashamed of myself.

Ashamed

 
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,

Not Ashamed

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

Crazy Talking Outloud Ashamed Not Proud

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

Ashamed of My Scars

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

Untill She Finds the Strength To Speak Again

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
