No Shame Poem by Stefanie Fontker

Do you have no shame?
A question often asked
More or less ignored
On my part of the spectrum
It is truly a stupid
Lifeless question
Asked by those with shame
Who obviously want company
In their shame wallowing
But, I offer no companionship
My ship is an empty one
And I have no plan of ever
Jumping over, swimming over
To another person's lane
Unless I decide I am a pirate
Then perhaps I would board
Such a shame-filled ship
If only to transform it
Into something beautiful
That has much hope and honour
Something that is not afraid
To showcase or admit
That is has taken self-esteem
Training more than once
