Lost Self-Worth

The truth finally came out.
I expected them to shout.
Be stunned from the shock.
Seemed like hours on the clock.
Maybe they were angry.
Or it hurt their feelings dearly.
But I could see one thing very clearly.
That they were disappointed in me.
No words had to be said.
Because I had their expressions read.
I could feel it deep within.
Like I comited a grave sin.
Being suffocated in shame.
Hanging it in a frame.
Tears that would make a river weep.
The price of honesty is steep.
Humiliation flows deep.
Sadness haunts my sleep.
I desired a sense of acceptance.
Instead I lost my confidence.
