No More Shame, No More Fear, No More Dread

Self-appraised, that’s my name

But these tight-ass pants

With these baggy eyes

That see a garbage world

Forever hideous

Forever purposeless

Forever worthless

Until all that I can do is beg for mercy

Nothing will survive in that despair

When something I hold dear is out to hurt me

I kick that feeble dream and whisper something like a prayer

No more shame, no more fear, no more dread

Stabbed in the face

That’s all the rage

Hit with a hammer

Hammer smashed face

Dodging rocks and bottles

Trapped in a cage

When something stabs you

You gotta get more blood

If my ugly had a shape it would be a spiral

Moving forward as it spins around

It’s all that I can do to break the cycle

Just veer hard as I can and keep from crashing to the ground

No more shame, no more fear, no more dread

No more shame, no more fear, no more dread

No more shame, no more fear, no more dread

No more shame, no more fear, no more dread

And no more doubt

No more nitpick

No more hurt feelings

No more resentment

No more dwelling

No more hand wringing

No more living fear of the world

No more fixating

No more crazy making

No more crazy making

No more shame, no more fear, no more dread

No more shame, no more fear, no more dread
