honor, shame and guilt

King

there are things we understand 

that causes feelings 

these feelings 

 

there are badges 

that somehow velcro to my sleeve 

can you still see my heart?

 

I don’t understand why I am I am 

I don’t understand why you are you 

I trust we are here for a reason 

 

some reasons better than others 

so please respect all mothers 

just like you and I, there’s no other
