The Shame

The shame
chocking on the pain.
Standing in the rain
of guilt, of powerlessness.

Wondering why.
Release it, let it go.
Forget it , I know.
The shame.

Looking back,
Lost in despair.
Abused, naked.
Don't trust them.
Take me away.
I'm scared,
is today the day?
The shame.

I feel them,
eyes all over me.
mocking, ridicule
I can't see.
The shame.

Block it, fake it.
Cry till I bleed.
Break me down,
This I need.
The shame, the shame.
Oh, the shame.
