In life, I think we all have things we have done that we are not proud of. I am no different from anyone else in the world. I'm thankful that I have picked up a habit of writing to let that shame out instead of holding on to it. As Lauryn Hill says,"You gotta find your peace of mind." I found mine and I pray to God you find yours. Hope you enjoy reading this. God bless ya'll! Please leave your comments/feedback. Thanks

These
Hands
My hands
Permanently
stained
Once beautiful
and brown
Now tainted
So I hide
them ashamed
Water and
soap can’t help
Tried so
hard to use that to remove
The pain….or
maybe as a cover
But the
constant scrubbing
Only drives
me insane…and still
After all
that
The blood
remains on those hands
Causing me
to abstain from
Moving on
in life
For the
fear that I may touch
And stain
somebody else
So I try to
get high
As often as
I can
From the
ink of the pen
Thinking maybe
this time
These hands
might write
Some peace
to cover the shame
These hands
have caused.
