Their Pain, My Shame



We curse the world and those who curse
Who wish to die, to take, to kill, to harm
We give them names so much worse
Based on their words and dark charm

We say, “I am perfect and good
I tower above these lowly fiends!”
But those ‘lowly’ are misunderstood
We are blind to their ‘behind the scenes’

He who makes others life hell
Has a hell of his own
Locked away in a guarded shell
Masked by a threatening tone

Her seductive smile and foxy flatter
Has crushed hearts of frail glass
But her own was beat to lumpy batter
Until she had to wear a mask

What makes you above their pain
Who placed you perfect and true
They need a comforting cane
To support their wounds, old and new

They wear a mask of perfection
Or show the world “who’s bad”
But inside there is an infection
Of shy, hate, fear, anger, and sad

Why are we letting them wither
In the heat of the harmful past
When we can help them better
And show them joy that will last
