Shuts us down from our dear ones
Causes to have a tough time around people we know,
and opens us up to strangers.
Creates isolation,
strong feelings and emotion,
Any mistake if we ever make,
we beat ourselves, and more blame we take,
even in situations we never had control over,
makes us feel like we had a huge stake.
(always looks like it was our fault)
Creates a belief infection
that every failure looks like a rejection
Squeezes all energy out like juice from a lemon.
Penetrates the soul like a termite infestation
Steals our worthiness and self-esteem
Inhibits our interaction with people in close relation
Makes us feel hollow,
that we cant even follow.

(Is there something seriously wrong with me?)
[Shame]
but worse- it can even make it look like sympathy
Attracts a lot of perfectionists
ruins lives of famous people
Generates fear and places them on backseat
Fuels us to exhibit blame
and play an unhealthy game
Thank God it has a name,
Yes, it is called shame.
(Have you ever heard the term "shaming people?")
It is a very natural feeling
if understood and managed well
if acknowledged and accepted well
An emotion universally felt
and in-fact very well dealt
Protects us from dangerous situations,
Encourages us to be nice
healthy and even wise
(Ever realized how shame makes us wise?)
The key is to recognize and accept,
walk through it being patient,
with self-care and self-compassion.
Just talking about it brings back belonging and self-respect,
and weakens its strength quotient.
The more you speak about it,
the less you are likely to have it
(the above lines have been borrowed - from guess?)
But you need to start from a safe space
and gradually take to next phase,
before engaging with it directly in a public place.
Women seem to have an edge
with this 'self-complementary' feeling,
in recognizing, as well as accepting,
and shredding it at a speed thats blazing.
But it seems they end-up in such situations more and more.
The trick is to tame,
the internal voice fueling the flame
that says: you are never enough or
you are self-obsessed and lame,
convincing that you will always be the same,
rather than engaging in a blame game,
and consistently aim,
to manage it with acclaim.
Thank God it has a name,
