Guilt (Free verse) by Freethinker1602
Again and Again I hear something
Saying to me I have no right to
Live here this planet is not mine
To dwell on I must leave swiftly
They whisper of every fault I have
Of every person that suffered by my hand
The words they give me cause me agony
I shriek and writhe wishing for an escape
They see the troubled life I lead
They know it causes me pain when reminded
That I am a parasite and not fit for sanity
They laugh at my pain and they bask in it
They've shown me the truth that life
Can't be fair to those that I've maimed
They understand that I couldn't live alone
There for they plague my conscious thought
I wonder if they know I realize that I am wrong
Do they know that I see my faults and cry
Do they know I see those in pain and cower
Do they know that all this is from my hand
I know I see this and try to fix it
I know I try to right the wrongs
I wait for a nonexistent absolution
I see your pain and know I can't forgive me
All I need is to grasp for what I want
Then in a blink it is taken away
And again I suffer
That's all I see it's all I'm willing to know
