Shame

Those who sell nightmares
� � Are roaming the streets

�Those who are frightened
� � Are never asleep

Those who cower in fear
� � Are dead on their feet

�Those who cursed
� � Are in too deep

Can you forgive the lonely
� � For being forgotten

�Can you shame the sad
� � For feeling rotten

Your reflection
� � Looks betrayed

� Your eyes convey
� � Maddening pain

Your soul locked in a cage
� � So afraid

� Reflecting the shame
� � Of stain
