My Own Shelled Fate

(poems go here)
Do not look at me
Do not smile at me
You do not know me
I cannot begin
Describing what i have done
It burns a whole in me
Deep, where it is not seen
I have stolen
Cheated
Raped
And i have bared false witnessed against everyone
I am the perfect sinner
Not only by faith
But conscience

Do not smile at me
Do not expect anything in return
The anger of you looking at me
Can you not see the distraught in my face
I am a murderer
A rapist
A molester
And an abuser
I am everything you despise
I do not fit into society?
I say society does not fit me

Do not smile at me
Because i am unworthy
I am an animal
Or so you would say
If you knew the truth
But until then
Love me

I was inspired by two amazing friends to speak from the heart.
