Feelings of guilt

clog my brains

choke my throat

stab my heart

numb my senses

confuse my thinking

startle my planning

blur my understanding

wash away my logic

And sedate my soul.

I am left as a dead mouse

Drowned in misery.

                                        After the storm is past.

                                         And a new generation

                                            starts to thrive

my breath revives

I look around and see

I was better than the others:

Those who deserved a knock

 On the head 

are up and about

While I who deserved

A glass of glucose

 Buried myself

 In fruitless guilt.

                                           I'm dwarfed,
                                            shrunk,wasted

                                                 I should have

                                              checked to see

                                              If my accusers

                                                 were right                                                                                                                                                               Free digital photos.net

                                          So as to apologise

                                          And start anew

And if they were wrong

to continue

in confidence

cheering others

on the way

This wrapping up

of myself

in a box

does no one good

others or myself.

Only leaves me

degenerated

to continue

the cycle

of blunders.
