How to befriend my shame? Shame is a real bad game I'm on my own in solitude Betrayed myself again. Shame means your throat is soar, You're thinking you're a ***** You're speaking with distasteful rage, You're thrown by yourself into a cage. It's hard to be aware Shame makes us feel dispair And lose all self-belief With shame there's no relief Shame exists when usually We'd love to die instead Shame makes living on Feeling like a threat Facing truth becomes impossible With shame We are trying to protect Our own name Healing seems to be a threat to our Existence Because shame is carrying Persistence After all, I'm trying to befriend it Even after it made my life freaking hard I am truly trying to understand it And to let fall down my darkest guard I know for a fact that my perfectionism Hasn't brought me anything but pain Shame has taught me to give up that game Because humans will always feel shame.
