Stumbling Upon Guilt

Part 2 of Guilt is a Foolish Coward...(just wanted to make a fancy title for the 2nd chapter...hehe) You don’t fool anyone; you’re a disgrace Yeah, I’m talking to you, guilt…in your face! You’re as bitter as wine… You made my taste buds scream with distaste and disgust You are a dirty, little swine, Eating away at the garbage and rolling in the mud and dust You always act like you know-it-all You’re nothing to me and that’s not all! I don’t need you, JERKASAURUS! You ruined us…you wrecked us… You destroyed our happy mood You’re no good…no good… Don’t be shocked, you foolish coward by the name of Guilt Time speeds up like a racecar when racing with confident wheels Don’t be caught off guard, you guilty man…why are you poorly built? You don’t know the pain and how much it really feels… You still look behind you without a care Avoid the dead-ends and don’t you dare think about walking the opposite direction Don’t act like a pathetic failure… Or a disoriented sailor Your face is turning paler… And you made me feel so unsure! I’m sick of your crying…I’m sick of you not trying… I’m tired of you being lazy and complaining What is there to complain about anyways? You always say: It’s one of those days… You’ll pay for what you do in the long run You need to learn good manners and be as optimistic as the sun Push yourself forward And don’t look back no matter how much pressure you feel Keep running homeward And don’t dwell in the past, For you can’t undo the things You’ve done inadequately, But you can make a difference in the Future… It’s no big deal! My bones are aching non-stop Don’t remain in a sorry state…don’t hesitate To give me a call… OK? Please remember that you’re a friend, not a foe I just want you to let go… Of guilt and I want you to know That most of these words are aimed at guilt You’re a precious, ancient quilt Homemade and surreal Irreplaceable and so unreal! So, let me ask you a few questions: Are you still befriending guilt? Are you still trapped in your past? Are you still stressed out about life in general? Are you allowing your feelings to take over you once more? Doors will open…doors will close You can always open up a new opportunity…right next door! What about you…think again – You’re stumbling in the same cycle of disdainful sin Everyone loves you and I do too Can you tell yourself that or is that too hard to do? Sorry if I come across as mean I just don’t want you to feel guilt… If you know what I mean
