How to befriend my shame?
Shame is a real bad game
I'm on my own in solitude
Betrayed myself again.
Shame means your throat is soar,
You're thinking you're a *****
You're speaking with distasteful rage,
You're thrown by yourself into a cage.
It's hard to be aware
Shame makes us feel dispair
And lose all self-belief
With shame there's no relief
Shame exists when usually
We'd love to die instead
Shame makes living on
Feeling like a threat
Facing truth becomes impossible
With shame
We are trying to protect
Our own name
Healing seems to be a threat to our
Existence
Because shame is carrying
Persistence
After all, I'm trying to befriend it
Even after it made my life freaking hard
I am truly trying to understand it
And to let fall down my darkest guard
I know for a fact that my perfectionism
Hasn't brought me anything but pain
Shame has taught me to give up that game
Because humans will always feel shame.
