Shame

Close my eyes, I’m crying at the sound

Cold slick floors, I’m always falling down

Trying so hard to not feel any shame

To ignore the dirt upon my name

The date, the name, scratched out in black

So I don’t have to face a memory left intact

And they all stare at me with hatred

Blaming me for feelings all wasted

Well I think that’s fine, I’ll play the role you force upon me

I’ll be the target for all your cruelty until the day you leave

And you drink to your emptiness

Choking on the bitter dregs

The black lipstick people dance, helpless in a crowd

Hiding away from a whine and a roar, it’s all too loud

And if you think I’m tragic you might be right

But I’m trying not panic when I lose myself in the night

Shame-Close my eyes, I’m crying at the sound 
Cold slick floors, I’m always falling down
Trying so hard to not feel any shame
