Fled and shed instead

I fled the country side..
in search of better fame.
I found out, 
That I’m not
What I thought.
Didn’t much enjoy the blame.

I fled the ink, and found the knife in search of better pain.
Instead I shed
Another layer
Of my brain.

I found out, 
That i am 
what I thought.

After all ..it’s only silly human shame.
