Poem: “Shame”
Shame!
What is shame?
Shame is when you commit crimes and leave it on your families
The bad names and the conversations people have behind your back
Shame can also be like when life don’t go your way
You can commit suicide or hurt yourself
Shame can be a very bad thing in life
You can get over shame by believing in yourself and loving yourself
And not letting people cause you headache
And not worrying about what people think.

Thank you for your vulnerability! Keep loving yourself and giving yourself grace. When we can do this with ourselves we can learn how to love and forgive others. Keep encouraging others through your writing!
