Guilty
Sometimes I feel so guilty
For the things I've done
And for the things I'll do
I see my face in the mirror
Shaking it's head in disgust
Why must I always
Make the wrong choice
I should be smarter now
But I keep slipping back
Into the bad thoughts
And the misguided actions
I abhor the me I was
And fear the me I'll become
Guilt plagues me
For the ones I've wronged
I should be brighter
I should've done the right thing
But like a coward
I shrunk back
Into the dark
Into the oblivion
That consumes my soul
And turns my heart black
I'm not a good person
I never will be
But I want the chance to change
To be a new me
And to remove the guilt
That makes me grieve
