Humiliation
The ties of community are unbroken,
but the knot in your stomach
has become an anchor.

I picked the word over a month ago and quickly forgot all about it. Today the fortunate reminder arrived that I needed to submit my prompt. Thank God for reminders!
I sat and let the gravity of the word hold space in my crowded head. I thought about it’s very personal meaning. This formed amongst the clutter that has me away from Medium more than I have even been since I first started reading. I feel like this prompt is so appropriate right now. I’d feel humiliated if this were a writing ground where we met in person because I’d have been out for weeks with little explanation.
