Existence
I have tried to do things correct, actions right.
I have tried to be hope and peace, a shining, guiding light.
But I also have done things of which I am ashamed.
Betrayals and lies and laying with someones who knowing I can’t claim.
Failings and falls, piling on the shame
Making sure it’s dull, hollow, hated, when spoken my name.
Knowing I just poison everything I look at and touch.
Knowing that even after I tried….I couldn’t amount to much.
And after seeing all my sins, shortcomings, and stumblings listed.
It is plain. It is evident. I…I just shouldn’t have existed.
