Somewhere along the way
Something bad happened
That caused someone shame
And fear
And shame about that fear
It was greater than anyone could deal with
Or would deal with
And so they were alone
And so greater the shame

But it could have been helped, with the simple tools we have today
Talking helping loving
The shame kept it hidden
And instilled itself in generation after generation
Replicating in different ways
Until someone could deal with it
I am that person (We are that person)
Many slowed the wheel
But I stopped it (You stopped it)
Are stopping it
The shame of who I am, of emotion
The pain
Will not exist inside me alone anymore
This is my story
This is my pain

Shame is just pain, unexpressed
Made to feel isolated and alone with it
To keep it in further
The cure is to express it
To help each other
And to Love
