The Other Side Of Shame Poem by jon terry

The ways to leave this cruel place
Are always on my mind
The bridge, a rope or Stanley
So simple but unkind

To all the ones who love me
And could I stand the pain
Of looking from the other side
With an eternal shame

Of leaving a sweet child
Wandering lost in this cold world
Believing she's not good enough
No longer Daddy's girl

So I stand up tall against the pain
To make our future bright
As you're love always finds the way
To make it through the night
