Better be content with your own little
Than extend a shameful hand of need
Never ever should you belittle
Your lofty soul and submit to greed
Sheer stupidity,
human neglect...
Wash car on the sidewalk
and with water hose,
a complete waste... !

Some numbers
Feelings involved
To some means a lot
Prestigious or shameful
Some children soon learn
Others do not
Innocent

Hiding so sly
shameful shamrock;
Looking is strange?
I take no stock;
Beyond the flock
a brand new friend;
They suit me fine,
luck can be found.
shake off the blinders
shatter your shameful shackles
shape your destiny
i see dreams thirst for freedom
and a soul plead for release

Wrong is shameful in both the old and wise,
Take it from one who's lived long enough to know.
Life is a stormy sea of wicked woe,
And tears are no less wet from older eyes.
A man who does not indulge in sin
stays away from bad companion.
He avoids wicked pleasures
and other evil thoughts.
He does not conform
to the shameful
ways of men
of this
world.
Down, down to the Earth,
hide your shameful face.
What is a man without grace?
But an Animal
insane and base.
Fight your inner demons
with your mind.
Free yourself to fly
Up, up to the sky.

I'm completely well acceptedi
and seen and well expressed
when for the world i dress
but being an obnoxiously stress
when in public nude, i'm not expected
Joseph as a man of principle
thought Mary to be pregnant a scandal.
“Fear not!” said the angel,
“It will not be shameful
for the Spirit has conceived Emmanuel.”
Matthew 1.18-23
She sits there, knitting
It’s the same deal with worker bees
A continuous addition, to completion
Shameful, that I keep tugging this loose thread
She's knitting for nothing
I think she knows too
Stubborn woman
Robbing
Sobbing
Dragging
Nagging
Arthritis, robbing, sobbing came
With its shameful dragging, nagging game

A Mount Vernon daddy long-legs
was pregnant with ten thousand eggs.
You might call what she did a shameful deed
with a Monticello centipede,
and yet...not long after Valley Forge,
that monstrous army defeated a proud King George.
I have lived this life in misery but this must be my fate,
for I have been selfish and I have been unkind.
That is my flaw,
I believe I deserve goodness because I have suffered.
How shameful of me to think pain deserves an ovation.
Self-mutilation a crushing despair
Helpless rage, no solace anywhere
Inner directed emotional surge
Urgent outlet, implosive urge
With self-awareness to your own self be true
Project not unto others what's shameful in you
You humble me, undoubtedly,
Unraveling my sweater at the seam,
Denying my flesh its covering,
Exposing my shameful nakedness,
Every unexpressed weakness.
You tear even deeper,
Lacerating my skin,
Reaching for my soul to let You in.
Dying light in West
Sunset of revelation
Leather wings transmute
Shameful legacy refused
Better hungry than blood drunk

Do you hear?
Can you tell?
How I hurt so much
Hiding away
Shameful and guilty
Longing for that touch
Forgotten to most
Invisible to many
And unnoticed I might seem
As I lie on my bed
Fighting the tears
Lost in my silent scream
Form:
Putting in writing
Listening to others
Listening to myself
Leaning on my feet
A chair, rose in a vase
A bird singing outside the window
It hurts so much that
I want to pass out for a few days
It's shameful. It's scary. It's furious.
Arbituary, i walk the fine line
Non-habituary, isn't mine to define
I plead guilty of the filth
Feeling filthy of the guilt
I am the wolf that turns his back
Too shameful to be part of the pack
I howl when you bite
Whining "foul and unright"
Those with piggish hearts I'd berate
for desiring each worldly prize.
Avarice is a shameful trait.
Materialism blinds their eyes.

Syllable count checked with howmanysyllables.com
Skipping down the walk on a sunless, foggy day;
a bright red coat surrounded in shades if gray.
In a smoldering mass grave, on a sad and shameful day;
a swatch if bright red coat, surrounded in ashes if gray.
Inspired by Schindler's List
I have a shameful secret to tell
I never really learnt how to spell
Tho’ try as I might
It seldom comes right
But my checker, SHE does very well

Remember you're all alone
If all is told and truth be known
All see you trip before the throne
Remember you're all alone
Shameful slide as all hope is blown
Your ego sliced, cut to the bone
Remember you're all alone
If all is told and truth be known
You needn't feel guilty or grateful.
You are such a beautiful although hurt soul.
You needn't feel hateful or shameful.
You're not alone in feeling so unfulfilled.
You needn't be anything else but yourself.
Always know you are so much unlike anyone else.
