Guilty

by Erica   Nov 15, 2007


What is this?
Where am I?
I'm guilty, I'm guilty
I've fallen for the bait of temptation.
I want to hide and disappear.
I want to fly high to the sky and soar
so hard that the wind blowing against me
will blow away my sorrow.
Please forgive me, please forgive me
I cannot forgive myself.
The tears... not of sadness but of
fear.
I can't escape it.
It holds me down... this never-ending guilt.
I want to forget, Lord help me forget.

    Love the poem. So short, yet convey the feeling of guilt in such a way that it leads you to think, to empathize. This poem fits my current feeling. I am feeling extremely guilty for inflicting emotional pain to someone I love so much, without even knowing I did it.

    The guilt is so great that I have troubles breathing sometimes. It is never ending. Only I can help myself. Only I can forgive myself. But I'll have to forget myself first.
