Shame Pain

A fictitious non-fiction

So you want to know

You see, it’s hard to see

Some wounds

Are inside

But to understand shame

Understand its corollary, pride

Hopefully you know how that feels

When you hold your head high

Happy to see others

Confident – maybe even a bit, gregarious

But shame is the opposite

Embarrassed

Ashamed to be seen

Convinced that people think your bad
