Shame

by Bob Hamp

Shame is a kidnapper
It invites us to be complicit
in our own abduction.
It insists that we construct a false self
To be accepted
It tells us to hide
So as not to be rejected
It convinces us
Someone else is responsible
To make your life work
Turn the table on shame
Bring your truest self into your story
Nothing to prove-Nothing to hide-
No one to blame
