How unflinching,
Is the bittter pain,
Of deep and sorrowful,
Inner shame.
It nisther forgives,
Nor dains to relax.
But holds unbending,
It's prisoner to facts.
To torment,
Slowly.
For years on end.
It knowingly,
Reminds.
It will not forget.
But dares it's victim,
To try and overcome it.

Shame is a relentless mistress who locks you in her tower and reminds you time and again of your mistakes in various forms of torture. Trust me i've been there, and she is so cruel.

this poem kind of confused me... i didnt exactly get its message until the very last lines. and you might want to check your spelling and grammar because there are a few typos! for your next poem i suggest clearing things up and fine tuning it!
