Face Of Shame

Face of shame looks away
Too late, we've seen it
It leaves the room
Denying it's appearance

The day it returns
Hopes we've forgotten
That we'll go back
To worshiping

Unfortunately, for the face
It still wears the shame, unaware
We still notice
We still laugh

It tries to shrug us off
But the shame builds,
Never goes away
For it is never accepted

A time will come
When acceptance leads to pain
But the pain subsides
Taking the shame with it

The face will return
And all will be in awe
Returning to worship
Of the face eternally shamed

  • Hmmmm...

    thats a good one to chew on.
    I make the shapes come much too close
    I pull my eyes out
    Hold my breath
    And wait until I shake...

    i like it a lot!

    you are kinda writing the same style as i am lately.
    also just like me you write socially concious stuff, which is my favorite subject to write about, because it never gets boring.
    ~It is better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not - ?~

    ~You laugh because I am different, I laugh because you are all the fucking same -?~
