Thanks, I'm glad that reading of the poem was clear! Sometimes looking at everything from the outside is all that's needed.

Thank you, Ana. I love the poem and the art work. I resonate with your statement of desperation. This week, for my Substack article, I will be releasing my experience with toxic shame.

In my experience and research on shame, I have discovered that it is the main driver of all violence (both self-harm and other-harm). I don't have all the answers to our world's violence. But, I do believe if each human can heal from their own shame and love themselves more, we would be in a better world together.
