Silence
is the boon companion
of shame
I am tired
so very
very tired
of silence
of shame
weighing me down
pulling at
my shoulders
dragging me
to my knees
I will not feed them anymore
I reject
silence
I reject
shame
They do not serve me
In this brave and reckless life

guilt = i did wrong. shame = “i” am “wrong”. so much wrong with that in and of itself. wrong is a relative, dualistic term. linking shame and silence is valid. those who harm depend on both from the harmed. i like you boxing the ears of those legacies!
