Tahera Mannan Poet Rhyme

Guilt

I carry with me so much of guilt	
Oh why don’t I fit
On the eve of my departure
My heart is laden with guilt
Oh why, oh why , oh why
My island is made
My people are here
Then why this feeling of guilt
Oh why, Oh why, Oh why
I’ve not stopped on the way 
My destiny is reached
Then why does my life tastes this guilt
Oh why, oh why, oh why
Life seemed so easy
I a crowning hero
Then why does the last label of guilt!
Oh why, oh why, oh why

As I depart from my in-laws today to live separately a new life, this guilt I carry 
along.

For Paula’s contest, ‘I carry with me’

Gwendolen Song May 20, 2011 at 1:01 AM Tahera- A journey I also took and so I deeply appreciate this heart wrenching write. I bet you cared for your in laws deeply and hated the spouse forced departure from the entire clan. A huge hug to you, my dear for this amazing write. The more transparent you become in your poetry, the more amazing and powerful your lines. I pray this poem brings healing. Gwendolen
