My dear shame,

We both know that I'm just a kid
And I would always be a kid
Yes in mentality of course
Still, my age doesn't really matter

I am and will always remain naïve
And you're always there to remind me
When I'm lost and I'm so full of myself
That I still have a lot to learn

I despise you but I didn't know
That you're really my greatest friend
You bring my ego down when it's so high up there
Remind me that I'm the one making the bed

Give the lessons if I'm willing to learn
Strengthen me when I'm weakened
Guide me when I'm not sure what I'm doing
Tell me when I should stop and leave

But you're also my enemy in ways of course
You make me feel less than everything
When something happens you make me feel stupid when there is really no reason why I should

I'm grateful and I should feel vengeful too
You progress me and hinder simultaneously
It's risky and definitely stupid what I'm asking
But lemme live a little without you
And then I'll get back to you
