Shame (Free verse) by Joe-joe

Shame is my best friend. For when I stand at its edge And it casts its dark shadow upon me I know that You are near. That cold and damp chill fills me. And I am frozen with fear For I know my next step may be my last - And that the time we’ve spent together May have been for no good cause. But You bring that darkness upon me And rescue me time and again As shame has laid a path to Your door And I who live blindly in the shadows Move ever closer to Your Light.

It's not shame that leads you back to God after you've sinned. It's a fear that he's going to burn your ass if you don't.
