-A Poem About Shame- ............................................ Shame moves through my body like a toxic liquid, absorbing and drowning any good feelings it encounters. “You don’t deserve to live” it tells Happiness, as it transforms the garden of my heart into a cold, lifeless prison, starving the growing seeds of necessary nutrients. Depression settles in. Wellsprings dry up. Light disappears. And warmth along with it. Death begins to plan its arrival. -The Dark Knight- https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo1t3qfFrVY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yc6fnzzp9gyi
