that feeling of
disconnect can
turn into shame
of “not being good enough”
to be loved

when your existence
was borne out of
conditional love.

Hi I’m Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) and this poem is partially inspired by thoughts, reflections and journal entries after reading Brené Brown’s Daring Greatly. She’s a researcher on shame and this book has honestly brought forth a lot of different … realizations.
