Shame

Shame
31 March 2009

In her mind she sat in the corner with her knees pulled to her chin held there tightly with crossed arms. Usually her head was collapsed on the top with her eyes squeezed shut trying to trap the tears from escaping. She felt safe and untouchable in this place. If she hid her eyes from seeing others then maybe they could not see her. She couldn’t see the truth in who she was, instead she hid her beauty in hope that no one would see. She felt weak alone and untalented. The lies had crept in and tangled themselves into the truth like a poisonous vine. Her shame went deeper than she realized as she tried to drown out reality. She was covered in so much undeserved shave she could hardly stand. She dare not cry in fear of being heard and forced to leave her imaginary corner. Little did she know her corner was filled with people doing the same thing. All tangled together in the lies, yet none of them had any idea because they all feared to look up.
