Shame Has No Boundaries....

I wrote this back in the 90's for someone in the family that took his life after suffering alone with HIV/AIDS.

Shame Has No Boundaries

By Tonya Rene Gill

Shame has no boundaries when you're alone in life.

No one to feel your heartaches no one to feel your pain.

There's no greater shame than a man who walks alone.

No one to remember who he really was, no one to guide him home.

A man who everyone would walk around but never saw inside,

the soul of a loving caring man who also has his pride.

Remember his courage he tried so hard to keep.

In the midst of battles where all he could do was weep. There's no greater shame than a man who walks alone, tormented so badly he never waited for God to take him home. Shame has no boundaries when hanging from a rope, ending the shame because no one cared to offer him hope.
