A Day of Shame

A Day of Shame

 

 

A day of shame, righteous I'm not

Mouth full of lies, head full of rot

Stomach dropped, gripped in fear, damaged fuse

Consequences due, I wait, I muse

 

"Why do I do it?" I question myself

Quietly I stare, sabotage of self

Bewildered and lonely, I know who I am

Self loathing and hatred, no good as a man

 

Stand forth, show yourself! My insides

Honesty eludes me, can't swallow my pride

Flagellation continues, harsh self acts

A small child cowers, the sight of an axe

 

Growing up is harder, at thirty nine 

Responsibility looms, look, the signs

Run from my children, never a wife

Been doing this dance, all of my life

 

Debts and bills, drugs and pills

Nothing ever mattered, ‘cept getting my fill

Cards reshuffled, a new hand dealt

A son now closer, my heart set to melt

Thanks Marijo,
 
I really do feel part of a very special family!
 
I am growing, I do feel something deep inside that I cannot easily explain...
 
... God?

We are the temple of the Holy Spirit if we have asked Jesus to forgive us and be our Lord and Savior so....GRIN.

One plus two makes three. One and two may have been a bit dodgy but three is ok and would have not come into being without one and two. There are no bad experiences, only experiences and how you judge them. Stop judging yourself, because it hurts and you have had enough of that lot.
