Shame

Though I am weak
 Sometimes weary
 In times of trial
 I hide my face
 In the balance
 Judge me wholly
 Please don't judge me
 By my shame
 In dark hours
 Of confrontation
 When words may fall
 Too soon to unsay
 Don't mistake them
 For my true meaning
 They are measures
 Of my shame
 I have tried to
 Live life humbly
 Not a coward
 Not in vain
 When my meekness
 Overcomes me
 Remember me
 Not my shame
 Not my shame
 I am small
 And self-conscious
 Every mirror
 Reflects the grain
 Judge my essence
 By my kinships
 Remember me
 Not my shame
 I am weak
 Sometimes weary
 Sometimes small
 I hide away
 When my hours
 Are all accounted
 Please don't bind me
 To my shame
 I have tried to
 Live life humbly
 Not a coward
 Not in vain
 When my meekness
 Overcomes me
 Remember me
 Not my shame
 Not my shame
 (repeat)
