I judge harshly,
I am critical and obstinate.

I waste time and energy,
I blame others for my failure.

There are people I try to avoid,
And tasks I try to evade.

And when I can't have my own way.
I sulk in my own little corner.

Lord, I even turn my back on You
To escape Your penetrating gaze.

Then finally I get fed up with myself.

The intolerable loneliness frightens me
And I can no longer endure me shame.
