    my name is shame


    MY NAME IS SHAME
    CASSIUS MCPHERSON

    Like your addiction my goal is to kill you by watching you wither and wilt.
    My companions are pain and depression I’m married my wife is guilt.
    I’ll do every thing I can to divert you from your plan and keep you chasing another hit...
    Yep that’s my job your self-esteem I’ll rob till you just give up and quit.
    I’ll take away your dignity I’ll take away your pride
    And when you pick up your drug of choice hold on here comes the ride.

    My name is shame you know me I’ve been chilling in your brain.
    Till you use I’ll slowly pick at you then (BAMM) here comes the pain.
    You give me so much leeway and I return your love with grief.
    Then you have the nerve what makes your think you deserve to ask God for so relief.

    Then you try these 12 step programs thinking they can give you peace.
    My name is shame you know my name on those steps I’m going to feast.
    Now if you don’t acknowledge my power and continue to play the game.
    I’ll break you down put your ass in the ground you know me my name is shame.

    I’ll convince you that you can handle it till you’re on your pity pot
    Then I’ll say it’s ok lets make it all go away go ahead and smoke that rock.
    If it’s not clear to you I want to kill you that’s my purpose in life you see.
    Yes my name is shame and I thrive on you pain and with you I want to be.

    THIS poem deserves a 15~~ alsom i love it!

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
