The challenge of stigma:
Deeply felt inside by both sides
Disgust anger fear or
Shame remorse guilt
When these two trilogies come together
Sparks and words do fly viciously back and forth
understanding and compassion become debris
communication and connection last in the tumultous storm
Stigma creates it’s own challenge of
“You’re wrong and I’m right!!” vs
“I must be a wrong person but I don’t want to be!”
“To not have your suffering recognized
is an almost unbearable form of violence.”
~ Andrei Lankov
