My shame is exposed For the world to see No point in hiding my scars They're forever painted on me It's the only thing They know me for This pain I carry Is my punishment for starting this war They say I'm a harlot Maybe I am Forgive me for I have sinned Or penalize me since I'm already ****** I find myself isolated From the rest of the world My only joy in life Is my beautiful daughter Pearl So I walk the city With my shame tattooed upon me Represented by the letter "A" For everyone to see

Shame
My shame is exposed For the world to see No point in hiding my scars They're forever painted on me It's the only thing They know me for This pain I carry Is my punishment for starting this war They say I'm a harlot Maybe I am Forgive me for I have sinned Or penalize me since I'm already ****** I find myself isolated From the rest of the world My only joy in life Is my beautiful daughter Pearl So I walk the city With my shame tattooed upon me Represented by the letter "A" For everyone to see
I wrote this for an English project after we read The Scarlet Letter
