Guilt Is a Foolish Coward

Wipe that stupid grin off your face,
Grime soaks in your bubbly cheeks
You soak everything in like a filthy sponge – 
I would divorce this feeling of guilt
It stinks like manure on the ground…
The stench is too overwhelming
Don’t let me be ensnared by guilt
Be prepare to face your fears…
We’re on this roller-coaster together 
We can do this…
This will erase our past enmities in our minds 
Time breaks my heart, 
Once thumping with excitement
Once flourishing with love, not resentment 
You take everything so serious 
Like a pissed off clown…
Sc-scaring me out of my wits 
Dry your tears of dread…
You’re a coward, 
Hanging by a thread
And you’re awkward!
Leave me be…
Let go of your worries and don’t drift away
Let it be…
Don’t you wanna be free?
Just be patient – Tomorrow is almost here…but today,
It will get better don’t fret
I can see it in your eyes that you’re upset
Don’t ever regret
The quarrels that you and I get into
I’m not giving up on you
I’m not through with you
Yet…I feel sorry for you 
We both feel like a disgrace 
Embrace
Fearless Feelings
Honor, Hope, and Faith 
Get rid of guilt,
For it is a foolish coward just like us in some sense
But worse than everyone put together…
Does that make sense or am I being too intense?
We will be two peas in a pod forever
It’s not a temporary relationship
That breaks apart easily…
It’s as stable as a well-built ship
