Shame - Poem

Tags: poem safety pain

 



Seeking Safety I limited myself 

Believing the perils of my mind

I burrowed deeper, dug underground

Secured restraint, I was bound to find

I was sure of Pain, every step wrong

So submerged myself from the tide

I rooted down, anchored my own

Nestled in one spot, I tried to hide.

I felt doubt and confusion about my plan

But feared making any new wave

I queried past actions, every mistake

Thinking me lesser, someone to save.

My feet escaped as they longed to touch earth

And felt safe in solid company

My eyes beheld trees, received their green

Branches held me in security

I felt water moisten my dry lips

Preservation was now my guide

Fire licked the air and warmed my skin

Lighting my path, wisdom by my side.

I could see there was no safety in the small

I had made myself hunter’s prey

The fear and pain that had consumed my thoughts

Had never been the warrior’s way.
