Attachment the Weakness

Guilt scorches and chews on the bitter end
Renewed but are we there yet
Realizing the consequence is half the battle
Deciding to handle it is nothing at all
The action for which we attribute our attention to the broken ones
Never necessary 
Always enraging
We will accuse ourselves of nothing 
Unless backed into an unforgiving corner
If we could watch ourselves exist
Hatred is all we would feel
