at some point of our lives we all felt guilt, shame and regret
at some point of our lives we overcame that guilt.
NOT ME
it haunted me like a bow searching for its arrow
every turn I took I would get a glimpse of it
no matter how fast I ran it always outran me
I couldn't escape it
the guilt was adamant on making sure it was the first thing I thought of when I woke up
in my sparks of happiness it lingered around in my thoughts looking for an escape door
flashing warning signs that it was near
it swallowed me whole,
left me despondent,
leaving no room for happiness
