Guilt

Embedded image from another site



It's so easy to obtain
from day to day living
you find yourself
with more of it...

Why am I still here?
I can still keep this
or just pass it on
think I'll keep a small portion...

Maybe for those long nights
when I forget I'm human
I can dredge it up
floating down from the sky...

My sky ceiling
covered with stars
that glow in the dark
beautiful just for you...

Then one day you wake up
the guilt is over filled
just for you
as you look in the mirror...

I say, "hey you"
"old you"
the "new you"
who the hell cares?

That was the guilt
from last night
that was then
this is now....

When I read the 'about this poem' I immediately saw it - very vivid(it's woven in parts of my 'dark' challenged poem).

This poem stands on its own... but when I saw where you were coming from... fantastic..

and needs to be said.

Great write!
Cat thumbs up wine

Thank you Cat for visiting..It's sort of survivor's guilt, why am I here when many of my friends are not..It could also be guilt woven in as well...Thank you for the kind review!
