For the Love of Melancholia For the love of Melancholia I bow down before you Lay gifts at your altar You are life's spirit moving Through my fingertips and tears For the love of Inadequacy Filling my face with soft shades Your under-appreciated hues Add nuance to my rainbow Revealing beauty in disguise For the love of Guilt Master of transformation Guide me to what's gone awry Show me how to atone with myself With those I have damaged For the love of Anger Burn through me with fervor For what I never deserved Or deserved and never got Channel my wounds into wisdom For the love of Shame Transporting life's heaviest cargo Teach me to love the unlovable Remind me at my absolute worst I am pure cosmic energy - Abigail Somma
Tis been a long time since I loved shame.
