Toxic Shame

•

━━━━━───•─✾─•───━━━━━

•

Ever wondered what is it,

That causes you to hate;

Not those who are with you,

But the one who is with in you?

Blemishes on your soul,

Clots blocking your heart,

Unwillingly you fail, but each time

You will be raised by the same.

──•──

You wear a bleeding armour

Of loss and agony, not realizing

The one who keeps on bleeding,

Is not standing in front of you.

You know what you've done,

But are completely unaware

About the human that begs;

Surviving to be seen and heard.

Mistakes may happen once more,

But your regrets can't come to end.

This toxic shame strikes in again.

This time you've nobody to blame.

──•──

So let me remind you once again.

What will make you content;

Breaking your Achilles' heel

Or standing on your own feet?

For, your satisfaction

Lies not in the weak bones,

But is in the gratification

Of the very soul that you ignore.
