Humility is Shame

Humility is linked to shame
A prison of man's vileness
A concept which comfort killed
So a false version of happiness
Could devour and take it's place
On the hierarchy of emotion

Shame is a prison of rusty bars
We look out to see old friends cheering
As if the self inflicted depression
Was a dungeon of eternal darkness

Remember to self examine
See yourself through the immortals eyes
Then be free of peer pressure
Of living up to an expectation
Ever unattainable as a dream

Shame is a prison of rusty bars
We look out to see old friends cheering
As if the self inflicted depression
Was a dungeon of eternal darkness
Turn now and remember the key

Humility is a starvation cage
Where acquaintances prod and judge
While we look inward to find comfort
No self examination necessary
When we wake from the dream
Tomorrow all will be the same
Comfort killed humility
Akin it now to shame
