There are few things or thoughts
Which are way too haunting or bothering.
You neither say it nor write it,
Because you don't find appropriate words to describe it, or sometimes, all you want to do is to avoid everything.

And slowly, you slip into guilt,
Depression,
Anxiety creeps in.
You don't know what to do, how to do,
Or what to say.

You try your best to be sane, but you can't.
Slowly, you start becoming numb.
You start hating yourself,
Your soul decides a journey
From self-love to self-hurt.

You don't care what others will think,
Because you already know how disgusting a person you are.
And the hate from others is like a sweet candy for you.

Moving on from people is something easy, but moving on from unforgettable mistakes or sin is hard as hell.
You can only suppress it.
But forgetting it or forgiving yourself seems like a sin in itself.

You can't even commit suicide because you know that will be more shameful, not for you but for your family and friends.
You can't even show people your scars or use your ink as an ointment.
You can't even change because answering their questions will be more hard.

Mistakes are meant to happen, but if you're not learning from them, then you're a sinner.
You're not a bad person or a devil because they also possess some principles.
