Tormented

Shame grips me

Like a power house it rips me

Shattered into splinters

Dissolving like snow in the winter

I’m tender to the touch

It just is so much

Don’t you judge me

Or think you’re above thee

You could be here too

So you better just love me

At night I stay up

Thinking a lot

It’s never so tough

Unless there’s something you forgot

So let it go

Don’t deepen the plot

Or throw the first blow

Thought splinters

Piercing my brain

I try in vain

To avoid the pain

It’s got me again

Tough as nails

Or so they say

But remember the day

I gave up all the way?

Ha! Here I am again

Back for round two

It sticks to me like glue

But what else is new?

What went wrong?

I’ve taken too long

To change my mind

Oh man are you blind?

Thought splinters

Piercing my brain

I try in vain

To avoid the pain

It’s got me again

Tough as nails

Or so they say

But remember the day

I gave up all the way?

Oh yeah I meant that

Or no I didn’t

Let me finish

Don’t diminish

My mind is sent back

To when I was young

Always under the gun

Do this

Don’t to that

No time for a chat

Or a hug

Just act

Thought splinters

Piercing my brain

I try in vain

To avoid the pain

It’s got me again

Tough as nails

Or so they say

But remember the day

I gave up all the way?
