Guilt

"Tears running down the drain pretending its rain standing under a shower of shame burning up cause it’s hot and I am still ashamed."

with a wap back bone of iron

The Cycle

I would like to stop this cycle of asking for help-

And being spoken to more quietly each time. 

And me laughing with guilt, alone.

Naked

Naked,
Stripped of control,
No pride or distinction,
Ropes of Guilt wrapped around my neck,
Hoping to end a Life of Painful delight...

Guilt

Gloomy and empty
Unable to have inner peace
Insatiable feelings of forgiveness
Losing the trust of others
Trying to rid thyself of sin
Form: Acrostic

Guilt

Asking for forgiveness is liberating oneself from guilt

                                                                  - Teddy Kimathi

Guilt and Guilty

You are disturbed less
But you have destroyed the much
Thus you make chaos
You say that you are guiltless
All the others have made this.
Form: Tanka

Holding On

A courage I can never undo. 

Within this life, I feel imbued. 

With voices of guilt, I do not regret. 

A sustenance I will never forget.
Form: Quatrain

Wake me up when spring comes
I can't bear the cold anymore
I'll hide under the cover
A little bit longer
Til guilt brings my feet to the floor

Zaftig the End

THE GUILT I CARRY
IT'S STAGGERING
IMMENSE
I AM HOLLOW
BROKEN DOWN
DEAD INSIDE
THESE WALLS
I'M FILLED UP
WITH PAIN
UNBOUNDING
I'M GUTTED.

the darkness, a-ha! the cash!

engulf him, nerves shot, gills green

With Tears

He who cries the loudest,
suffers the most guilt

The eyes of destiny staring back
 —the past with tears rebuilt

Leaving Tomorrow

Running toward my yesterdays, 
the future in pursuit

The loosest ends when left undone
—the past my guilt recruits

(Dreamsleep: April, 2021)

Lost You

From when I lost you, and drove you away.

The gnawing guilt and regret,

I would love to forget.
