Shame
About the shame of having a body
the shame of being different
the shame of being the same
the shame of being sick
the shame of being healthy
about the shame of being privileged
and the shame of being poor
about the shame that comes from outside
and the shame that sits in our cells
about the shame that makes you hunchback, even with yoga
about the shame that closes the heart, even with ecstasy
about the shame of not being somewhere on some timeline
and the shame of not even wanting that
about the shame that destroys relationships
about the shame that breaks bonds
about the shame that leads to suicide
let's talk about
the shame that locks us within ourselves
the shame that causes us to push back more and more from our true selves
and thus traps us all in a superficial world.
Happy Full Moon 🖤
