Shame
by Catherine Wilson (Age: 32)
copyright 12-05-2002


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
As a child, all I wanted
was to please you in every way.
Yet throughout my childhood,
I shamed you every day.

Through all the years and many tears.
The track meets you didn't attend.
I always tried to wear a smile.
It grew harder to pretend.

I remember telling you
I wanted to study law.
Instead of giving me encouragement,
you said failure was all you foresaw.

Remember me calling you
about a college loan?
All I needed was a co-signer,
you said "you’re on your own."

When I had my feelings hurt,
you rubbed it in my face.
You said I needed to grow up.
The world's a very hard place.

And when I was abused and raped,
my tears you didn't allow.
All you did was call me whore,
the shame falls on you now.

Catherine,
This strikes so close to home with me right now...you survived so well. I look up to you for that.

Wonderful poem, with strong emotions. I enjoyed it a lot.

Forever,
Debra
