Shame

I'm mending the pieces of the life I built

With fragments of my better self

But with every slip, the cracks dig in

Ripping through my skin

Don't need a savior

I'm just looking for a way out

Every serrated edge reflects a way

Dig into the hurt

With any shape I take

Shame finds a way

To take its fucking place

Do you think I chose this life?

Abandon faith

Fiending for the bitter taste

How can I trust myself to know what's right

And do it when the time comes?

It gets so hard to live with this

Weight pounding on my chest

I feel it

Caving in

Splinters searing

Tearing at old wounds

With violent impulsion

Why won't you just fucking let me grieve?

With every shape

Shame finds a way

With every shape I take

Shame
