Shame

I'm mending the pieces of the life I built
With fragments of my better self
But with every slip, the cracks dig in
Ripping through my skin

Don't need a savior
I'm just looking for a way out
Every serrated edge reflects a way
Dig into the hurt

With any shape I take
Shame finds a way
To take its fucking place

Do you think I chose this life?

Abandon faith
Fiending for the bitter taste
How can I trust myself to know what's right
And do it when the time comes?

It gets so hard to live with this
Weight pounding on my chest
I feel it
Caving in
Splinters searing
Tearing at old wounds
With violent impulsion

Why won't you just fucking let me grieve?

With every shape
Shame finds a way
With every shape I take
Shame
