Shame
The burden of scorn,
that I carried.
Self in others' eyes
Core experience of
an alien among others.
Self diffused and dissolved
in the spell of eyes.
Mind filled with contempt and disdain
Stories were created with derision
Jeering voices vibrated everywhere
Sneering remarks shattered one's image
Taunting comments felt like
a sudden slap on the face.
Stains of stigma lingered
too long in the heart
Resulted in loathing oneself.
