A box full of shame

 

Somebody gave you

a box full of shame.

You don’t know when

And you don’t know why,

What will you do?

 

Somebody gave you

a box full of shame.

Should you laugh,

Or should you cry.

What would you do?

 

Somebody gave you

a box full of shame.

Sometimes it oozes,

then it scabs.

What would you do?

 

Somebody gave you

a box full of shame.

Hold it painfully close

Or set it blissfully free.

What would you do?

 

Somebody gave you

a box full of shame.

Accept it’s toxic wounding

Or begin to heal your soul.

What would you do?

Somebody gave me

a box full of shame.

First I was shamefully silent,

Now I shamelessly write.

That’s what I do
