A Shame

Sometimes we grow up with a lie that we don’t know about, then the lie bursts, and finally the truth comes out. It is always the innocent victims of the lie that get hurt, never the propitiators of it. The innocent ones who feel the guilt when they have done nothing wrong. They feel ashamed for something they had no part in. A dark cloud hangs over them and questions torment their mind. They feel the shame that was never meant for them. They want to forgive themselves. Thinking if they had done something different they might never feel this way. There is nothing they could have done the perpetrators of the lie had seen to that. They can’t turn back the clock to where it all began, only try to move forward and hope that it will never happen again to anyone
