my peace of mind shatters
when a compliment is offered
wanting to catch it
savour it’s sweetness
until fear intrudes
with innuendos of
‘not the truth’
‘it wasn’t that good’
‘you’ll never do it again’
so the bouquet is tossed aside
without vase or water
until my heart pushes aside the fear.
“Self-stigma can be just as big a problem as the negative attitudes of others.”
