Shame
Shame
Let’s talk about shame, that destructive shame that makes you hide your face…
Shame is the feeling that gnaws at you, the one that never lets you rest wherever you are. Shame is linked to others and to yourself. Shame is how you perceive yourself based on how others have treated you. But it is rarely a reflection of reality. Shame is deep; it is cold, it is brutal, but most of all it is destructive. Shame gives power, power over the victim who gets inflicted. Shame is carried alone, for we all have our own shame, shame that is created by others, but carried by us. The destructive effect of shame is about hiding one's face. I wish to talk about what it means to live a life in hiding, where you do not dare to show your face, because you are afraid of being judged, afraid that others will say that you are not enough, that you do not belong. So the shame suffocates you even harder, because every time you try and get rejected as a result, the shame deepens and grips firmer claws in you.
What hurts most of all is that no one stood up for me, it has been the toughest lesson of my whole life. No voices have been for me, while my voice has been for many. My voice is exhausted and abused. My brutal experiences have not been for nothing. I have learned to fight. I can relate to the familiar ‘‘chaoskampf’’ in mythology that reflects a constant battle against chaos, the fight is forever repetitive. Which my song ‘‘Shame’’ also does. The repetitive struggle in my verses, is my ‘‘chaoskampf’’ - I have fought and still fight that monster daily. When you no longer rise up and fight that is the day the monsters will prevail. It is time to roar and go to war!
It is time to look at yourself in the mirror! I know for myself that I struggled to actually look at myself in the mirror, every now and then I still catch myself avoiding mirrors. It is unconscious. You feel ashamed, on the inside and outside. Your self image has been shattered, upside down. Turn your face towards the mirror, and meet your monsters and scream out: No more! I deserve better, I am better...I am! Then look at yourself, truly see yourself in the eyes, those one of a kind eyes, and see your own worth and give yourself the love you deserve. Remember to never give up the fight, even though it is repetitive!
Come with me on an odyssey through darkness, where we will face our truth, and roar like we’ve been torn - From victim to victor!
It is time you...
