The Sting
By Emily Jade
How did your face react?
did your eyes dim
did your cheeks burn
and what about your tongue
could you say anything
did you want to?
can you remember the first person
who taught you shame
did you feel powerless?
I so often do.
Shame has a way of taking you hostage
you want to be smaller
to fold in on yourself.
You were taught to shrink
when you deserved to be
lovingly
taught how to grow
