Ancestral Shame-A Poem

This is a poem about generational trauma or ancestral shame. It can be used as a meditation or as a ritual to connect you to your family lineage and see what hurt your family has been holding onto and passing down. Beliefs like "I am unworthy", "I will be abandoned", "I am not good enough" can and do affect the way parents interact with their children. It is unconsciously passed down until someone becomes aware that this is their family's story, and they choose to be the one who changes it.
