Shame

girl - - - get it off your chest

- - - - - - cry it

- - - - - - caugh it

- - - - - - shout it

- - - - - - and - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - dance it

girl - - - let it undo its ties

- - - - - - weaken

- - - - - - crawl

- - - - - - beg

- - - - - - and - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - expire - - - - - die

girl - - - feel it surface in the open

- - - - - - fear

- - - - - - anger

- - - - - - hope

- - - - - - and - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - compassion

girl - - - explore the full nothingness

- - - - - - hard softness

- - - - - - bright darkness

- - - - - - yelling silence

- - - - - - and - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - empty space

girl - - - celebrate the birth of new life

- - - - - - look its coming

- - - - - - hear its whispering

- - - - - - smell its wetness

- - - - - - taste its rawness

- - - - - - touch its nakedness

- - - - - - and - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - own it - - - - - very simply
