Shame

It's such a shame to feel the need to
Be ashamed and hide and repress
Boy what a shame I can't be proud to
Show my true colours without stress

On new moon days ending in the dark
I go to wish for happiness upon a star out
But I can't see no stars there's only dark
My world is polluted from the inside out

Deep dense toxic gas coughing dying
I can't see anything, not even myself
I'm looking for air, hoping and praying 
Can I shed a light to get a sense of self

It's such a shame to feel the need to
Be ashamed and hide and repress
Boy what a shame I can't be proud to
Show my true colours without stress

The waterfalls go so fast you can't see
It's better when it's smaller and clearer
Simple but authentic, I wish it was me
How to be oneself whilst being prettier

When it's free and the sun is shining
It creates a rainbow, colours and smiles
But it seems the sun has been hiding
To reach it you'll cross years and miles

It's such a shame to feel the need to
Be ashamed and hide and repress
Boy what a shame I can't be proud to
Show my true colours without stress
