Ashamed

Mon, 10/19/2015 - 09:33 -- EV2016

I feel shame


of this thing you call a game.


I am ashamed


of the scars on my wrist,


 the urge to create new ones,


all the lies I've told,


all the lack of truest I have.


I am ashamed


of the all the mean things said


and things I left unsaid.


I am ashamed


of my pain.


Why can't it go away?


Why can't I tell anyone how bad it is?


Because they think its a game.


My pain is nothing but a game to them.


They think I'm melodramatic


or striving for attention.


But I know it for what it is


Pain


Depression


My life doesn't have a claim.


It could end at any second


and sometimes I wish I would.


I am ashamed


of this thing they call a game


of what I call pain.
