Guilty

i do not get much sleep 
but at least my loosing sleep is useful
'cuz it gives me time alone to write poetry
but anyway
i lose sleep not because i want to write
no,the reason is the sense of guilt that haunts my soul
i don't wanna close my eyes 
lest i die in my sleep
i've wronged many,i can't mention
who do you know amongst those that i've wronged
won't suffocate or stab me in my sleep?
i won't be mad at them,i'm guilty
