    Shame

    Shame
    that’s my name
    Right now
    I don’t know how
    I forgot how to live without the drink
    I stop and think
    How could this be
    This isn’t me
    Not one night alone
    No place to call home
    I’m falling slowly
    The people who know me
    They see…
    They see that I’ve changed
    All these thoughts rearranged
    My head cant stay clear
    Of what I fear
    What I see
    What I might be
    Which isn’t me
    Please stop the pain
    Take it away
    Cuz I am in shame
    For all that they say
    But yes its true
    Myself I abuse
    Right now at this time
    My thoughts hate my mind
    For letting me be
    Nothing to me
    Right now I can see
    My life is changing
    Each little choice I have been making
    Is hurting my life and my eyes are not waking
    Faking
    Taking and breaking
    My soul
    My heart is so full
    But my mind is so dull
    Taking and breaking
    My soul as I leave it
    My mind not giving a shit
    But my heart regretting it
    Where did I go wrong?
    It wasn’t that long
    Two years gone
    But it meant nothing
    So why am I turning into something
    Something I’ve hated all along
    Something I’ve always thought was wrong
    Something in my eyes is weak.. Not strong
    Somewhere I do not belong
    I know its not me
    So why do I continue to be
    Something I am not
    Lost in my thoughts
    Of uncertainty
    I wanna break free
    And go back to me
    But I cannot see
    Cannot see the path
    It leads me nowhere
    But I have to find it somewhere
    Cuz there I am free
    There I am me
    No hating or judging
    Just beauty and loving
    But I’m struggling
    Trying to find my way
    To those beautiful days
    Where I felt so alive
    I could survive
    Without the bottle
    Without the pain
    So bring me back to life again
    Take my hand
    Take my heart
    I need a place to start
    I wanna find
    My beautiful mind
    So take my shame
    Give me my name
    So I can change
    Into me again

    A well written piece of soul searching. Which way will you go? Hopefully you'll keep on writing, Great job. TS

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
