Shame Now, Freedom Soon

a poem

This shame within my burdened chest

you bet it hurts more than the rest

I've let it fester, day by day

heard all the shit it has to say

much to witness, much to see

yes, it's broken, but it's me

gently brought back to the light

now cradled by my deepest night

seen again the truth once more

stubborn hope for what's in store

knowing I will one day soon

feel freedom like I'd felt with you
