Why Does Shame And Self-loathing Become Cruelty

You Sense My Loneliness, (...) My Bitterness At Being Shut Out Of Life. My Bitterness That I'm Evil, That I Don't Deserve To Be Loved And Yet I Need Love Hungrily.

These Things Merely Now And Then Make Me Suffer, That's All

Don't Let The Old Story Repeat Itself Now. Arm Yourself With All That's Happened.
