Abashed
Almost all of us at one time or another have felt abashed
Bothered or irked when hopes and dreams were dashed
Admonished or discouraged that we didn't follow through
Struggling to succeed at the things we said we would do
Heartbroken to think we disappointed those we hold dear
Embarrassed by our failures until we silently shed a tear
Disquieted and grieved, we live with the foe called 'fear.'
