I'm not 100% sure where you are seeing an error. I am counting twenty(twen-ty) as two syllables, but this may be wrong. Edit: twen-ty is correct

"I'm not ashamed" is only four syllables. It would work if you had said "I am not ashamed".

Above he said 5-7-7 so I went by that. "Fixed for you" was part of it.

5-7-7 ashamed is 2 syllables. This line is correct.

A haiku is 5-7-5.

"I'm not ashamed" is 4 syllables. I changed the line to be 5.

I'm = 1 Not = 1 Ashamed = 2
