Shame From the Past

Shame From the Past

No one I know

Really understands

At all and it seems

My faith was horribly

Misplaced

And now I feel so alone

And

Lost.

But maybe,

In this confused

Melancholy rant

It was me who

Didn’t understand.

Stained Face

Stained Face

Tears you cannot see,

It’s a me that I hide

No one sees inside covered up and bound up

I am not truly free

Everyone thought I was happy

The only things they ever seen

The joy on the outside not the real me

He came and took it away the unseen strife and pain

Now a true joy begins to stream down my tear stained face.
