Shame

Your slanderous comments,

burned in my brain,

carved on my wrists,

tattooed on my forehead.

The laughter, always forgotten

The tears, always on hand

Unable to execute perfection

Trying to beam,

You thieve my light

Etching away my soul,

My rock, no,

But the shovel, you are

Deeper and deeper I go

Daunting, the route my mind treks,

A menacing sight to see
