"Shame, shame go away


come again another





day"

The feeling of guilt is inevitable, but the feeling of remorse,



permanent

That was he thought of,



remorse




shame,


like a tatoo

He wore his shame as his own




Scarlet letter

The author's comments:
I was inspired by this from one my own short stories that I made for English class. I was trying to write the story in a mael's perspective. So when I decided to do a poem, I ended up with this.
