Guilt

Tell me your secret

There is something inside me 

Hidden for no one to see

Buried under the rubles of memories 

Burdened by the weight it carries 

Oh how I long to be free 

Fly high above the tree

Yet I am pulled to the ground

Panic ensues making my heart pound

Can I run away?

But fear is here to stay.

Can I just give up?

No, the idea is but a flop. 

There will come a day 

when truth will find the way. 

Guilt will soon leave 

and a smile I can freely give.

Guilt is something that we all struggle with. Some choose to deal with it while others choose to have selective amnesia. Either way it is painful but by not dealing with it, you become its captive. What you said about the truth coming out, guilt leaving, and being able to smile once again hit home. Thank you for writing about something we all think about but very few speak about.

This was an incredible read. Your writing is both creative and insightful, what a great combination. I very much look forward to reading more of your work.
Thank you for sharing.

That's true. Accepting the fact that we are guilty of something allows us to confront it. A faceless enemy is a dangerous one. Thank you for your kind feedback.
