No Shame

Just a little poem I thought I'd try

Blame me 

Maim me 

But never will you shame me

Slay me

Betray me

But  never will you change me

Call me lazy

Slow as molasses, gravy, save me for your insults

I'm sane enough to be humble when you call me crazy

A slave to life grazing

Faze me

Sway me

But never will you erase me

Chase me

Blaze me to the ground

But you'll have found I'm still sound of mind

So find my weakness

Speak these words 

Shriek this but you'll never be heard

My ears hear the future

I may be hurting

But never will I be the loser

So be the amuser of haters

But I will be remembered later

Because you are a traitor to humanity

Blame me 

Maim me 

But never will you shame me

Slay me

Betray me

But  never will you change me

Author's Note

I very seldom reply to reviews, but I promise I read EVERY single one. I look forward to my next review because it helps me learn. Even if it's just one word, I promise, I will be ecstatic to have the chance to hear what you have to say. Whenever you write something about my poems, or the themes of my poems, or criticize me it is not in vain. I will listen, learn and be thankful.

[Morgan Bland]

Very powerful piece. The line "I'm sane enough to be humble when you call me crazy" is especially impacting. People so often have such little common sense when speaking to people with mental illnesses. There lack of pity or/& understanding is aggravating. It's also important to spread this sort of message to promote awareness (and therefore compassion).

I liked the rhythm you have given to this one. I could form a tune to this one and read it as lyrics. Very well written.
