And ... Do You Feel Shame
And…
Do you feel shame
Responsibility
Accountability
Or humility
You take the steps of
Victim gone wrong
Playing the song
Not being strong
Drinking and swerving
Drunk while you’re curving
And…
Do you take Blame
For the hit and run
Under the gun
Like a slingshot from hell
Down the bank she fell
Twisted and broke
Screaming in pain
Do you take Blame
Do you feel Shame
Responsibility
Accountability
Or Humility
Of actions gone wrong
Of setting them right
Without blinding your sight
With no running away
Stand up to be counted
Stand up to accept
The responsibility
The accountability
Of your actions that night
Instead of hiding in fright
Behind the coats of your peers
Behind the glasses of beer
Behind the whiskey glass label
Behind the damn lawyer table
Set yourself free
To accept responsibility
Accountability and humility
And
Do you feel Shame?
