Shame On Me

Shame on me
For loving things
I can't restrain.

A snake on a leash.
A dog not following.
A cat ignoring.
A kid, envying.

Shame on me
For wanting things.
I could never obtain.

A lack of worldly sin.
A lottery win.
An image I can pretend.
A painting of the wind.

Shame on me
A human being,
Only something you're seeing.

Not much to invest.
Not a treasure chest.
Just hoping for the best.
