Who are we
Without shame?
How else do we
Become moulded
Into what other
People will like
What a shame
How do we
Look at ourselves
With love
When we are imperfect
What a shame
How do we know what
A perfect body is
Without comparison
And being told we’re not the best
What a shame
How do we perform
Become the best
Know our flaws
Without criticism
What a shame
How do we harden up
Become impervious
Get stronger
Without some emotional bashing
What a shame
How do we know we are different
Not good enough
Never good enough
Without being told
What a shame
Who are you
To tell me I’m
Not perfect
That I don’t belong
Shame on you
Who am I to believe you
To berate and bully myself
To diminish my self worth
In the presence of shame
Shame on me
Shame is a
Confusing mirror
Of negativity
It has no place here
