My head hurts from the shame . I opened the door and let it in again. Even though it is not mine, it pulls up a chair and starts to dine. It eats away at my self-esteem, devours my self-worth and swallows my character. I am aware of it’s presence now. and want to close the door on it but I don’t know how . The out come is what I fear. I am fighting a losing battle and can only hope the end is near |

How fresh and different to treat shame as an univited guest! I like that. If this is from your own life, I hope it's not long before you definitely show it the door (especially if it's not yours!) |

Sounds likea visit from the devil to me, but thats just my opinion! Or even a serious illness, or accident, or anything. You can take this uninvited guest as a lot of different things! I hope that if this is a person experience, that you can find a way to close that door on whatever it is and get rid of it forever! Did Jesus laugh? I think He did, 'cause He was once a little kid; and all of us were made with joy both sugar-spice girl and snake-snail boy! |

Ted, SEA,and Echo thankyou for your warm wishes. The shame is my ex-husband. Writing is a therapy of sorts and I tried to write how he made me feel. Oh and yes I have closed the door . |

Tasi- The 'uninvited guest' sometimes returns to our thoughts. Now you can look at him in a different light. That makes you the winner. Great rendering. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
