Shame

Where can I go 

Where no one would judge me, 

Where I could be normal 

Like I was in my dreams?

My thinking was "confused"

And no one knew why. 

There was no escape from unwanted feelings, 

No matter how hard I would try. 

How could I go on living like this, 

In a world where too many knew? 

To ignore or even deny these thoughts

Was all I wanted to do. 

What do I do if I don't understand. . . 

Have an escape, or even a plan? 

I can't just sit back and dream it away, 

Not even at another's demand. 

If there is a helping hand

Why won't they take this burden of pain

So far out of sight I can't see it again? 

Until then all I'll feel is shame.

I must stay in the shadows.
