My Disgrace

As slow as moss
This anger so cold
But it’s burning me up
Insides don’t you see

I need some time
I need some space
To learn to deal
With this disgrace

As sharp as a knife
This pain inside of me
It’s ripping me apart
But you can’t even see

I need some time
I need some space
To learn to deal
With this disgrace

As thick as shadows
This shame came to be
Now it’s wrapped around
Forever to be a part of me

These three things
Are parts of me
That I didn’t want
You to ever see

Two are hidden easily
For only me to see
The last alas is stubborn
And wants to be seen

But now I just need
Some time, some space
To learn to deal
With this disgrace

My disgrace is mine
Alone and never yours
I don’t want it but its part of me
So please don’t try to make it yours
