SHAMEMAN
Wherever there is shame
or remorse to be felt
I’ll be there!
Whenever something
wrong has been done
point the finger here!
My back is strong
I can take the weight
I’ve a fullproof defense
pretending I don’t care
I am the conscience clearer
assuager of guilt
feeding on trouble
mainlining blame
self appointed
24/7 whipping boy
I’M SHAMEMAN!!

Thank you Tommie! These are behaviors I need to constantly battle. I've done well with a lot of support from friends and family. You are an inspiration.

Thank you Blue! Though I struggle I am winning more and more of the battles. What's frustrating is I do this to myself. Thank God for poetry :)

....and in your admission begins healing, because the first step to fighting oneself is recognizing that there is a war within. I truly enjoyed this ink...Xo

Thank you Rain, I agree completely and I did definitely use these words in a cathartic manner...a stripping off the bandage, if you will, to better assess the healing process. Thank you so much for reading and commenting :)

I know a couple of people that fit this description - and can never tell me why they do it except to keep the peace... some things are bought at too high a price...

Quite raw and for sure its something many of us can relate to, it's not easy and can take a toll after awhile but everyone's breaking point is subjective.
Very heartfelt GW.

Thank you Vee...I figured it would be relatable to more than myself. I appreciate, very much, your comment :)
