Notes About The Poem
For everyone who feels it's there fault

Go Away Survivor Guilt

Survivor guilt, is it in the head?
It feels like its you that should be dead 
Alas my friend this isn't so
This feeling needs to get up and go

For it will bring you to your knees
No one can hear you shout please
Go away survivor guilt 
The  life they need should be rebuilt 

I know you are a demon in the brain
Bringing people all this pain
Lack of sleep is what you deprive 
Let them move on with thier lives

Survivors are what they have become
Your nothing but banging of a steel drum
Leave thier soles to be content
Happiness is what is meant

So good bye guilt and sorrow
A new life begins tomorrow
Yes I know they've lost good people
But they'll meet again at the steeple
