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
