I wear humiliation
uncomfortably
In eyes that rarely meet anothers
A stiffness to my movements
An added weight that holds me awkwardly still

This picture,
My life,
is a little too bright suddenly
as after too much darkness, the sun would always be

And sunglasses thankfully can
at least hide my shame
and my confusion
while I study the painfilled reality
of where I've been

Tessa, it is knowing where we have been that gives us strength to find were we are going.....well penned words here Tessa. *s*

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

Take those sunglasses off -
among friends - there is no shame ~

A wonderfully emotive piece.
