Guilt

A heavy yoke of guilt crashes on my back,

I’m not a better man, so I let it consume me

The pressure eats away at my shoulderblades

As I am torn between right and wrong

I act as the crux... the untouched soul.

A virgin to the feelings of guilt

Unsure of how to react and realizing that the worst

Just might be on the upcoming horizon

With each moment it shifts its weight

To and fro.

The yoke leaves me in a state of constant

Flux as it relates to the balance of right and wrong

But then I look into the sunset and realize…

This is not a burden I carry alone.

Others carry it with me and it is those who survive this journey

Who I may call my friends.
