SHAME

 

She
Hides
Away,
Masking
Everything

 

“Masks are the order of the day - and the least I can do is cultivate the illusion that I am gay, serene, not hollow and afraid.”

Sylvia plath

a mother:

 

silent; not saying a word:

2022 

 

Prom dress,hospital gown, garbage bag…

i was born into shame

Inherited trauma 

Unknowingly repeated cycle

I share now 

because she couldn’t 

 

She was me...

I became her
