Sheltered Shame by Helen Constantine

Sheltered shame

By

Helen Constantine

On erratic rounds through doors, corridors

And hidden dark corners

She creeps about, by day and by night

Peeping and listening, well out of sight

Stalking her victims, who recoil in fear and fright?

Or in due course, somehow take flight.

Cloaked in her perfectly woven facade

She's forever here, there and everywhere

Conducting some so-called kindness

That's neither here nor there

And clearly insincere
