On Shame – Anitra Lahiri

by Anitra Lahiri, RYT-500

Scrub away the shame,
the tar that has laid,
heavy and thick
upon your life,

shackles of
self-sabotage,
self-punishment,
self-loathing.

Unbind your mind
from the belief
that you are flawed
for being you.

Untether your heart
from the sense
that you are wicked
for being you.

Unhinge your body
from the lie
that you are inferior
for being you.

Unclasp your identity
from victim, predator, prey.

And relish the liberation
of unfettered (cautious) joy.
