where does the shame come from? that’s what was asked
i keep wondering; i wonder forever; until i can’t wonder anymore
since birth, since childhood; a curse, a learned way of being
…
being pointed at, shown as different, as strange and a monster
that hurts so much; but at the same time, being ignored
and treated as ordinary, kept at a distance—that hurts too
…
now i must find it within myself: where does such shame come from?
what to do when overcome with it, whether i’m alone or out in the world?
how to not let it destroy me or my life anymore; how to grow from and out of it?
