Life of Shame

by J'Wellsgriefdark nightfear
A child left to himself causes shame. Clueless, who am I? Molded in pain. Walk a mile in my shoes. Life's one big party, living by my own rules. Suppressed emotions caused a violent explosion. Drown my problems in alcohol, cast in the ocean. In a sea of misery, deceived by my own notions. On the island of loneliness, screaming for help. Yelling desperately before I silently wept. No answer to my call led to more drinking, Thinking: 'what are you doing, red lights are blinking?' Proceed to move forward in the middle of traffic, Full speed ahead, a collision waiting to happen.
