She Feels Shame
Bubbling over with enthusiasm
She feels shame
And stops herself
Oozing with excitement
She begins to shriek
But her mouth will not open
Eager to please
She has squelched her soul
So often that her mother is concerned
No one understand that the smothering
Was her mother’s doing all along
Including her mother
