As long as you are ashamed, you will hide.
As long as you hide you are alone.
As long as you are alone, you have nothing.
When you have nothing you give nothing.
When you give nothing you are nothing.
As long as you are nothing, you are ashamed.

Sounds like a viscious cycle. Good poem I enjoyed it. Rare for me with really short poems but that was the perfect length for this one. You couldn't have added any more or less. Again good job man. I'll keep a lookout for more of your work.

Asta!!
