Guilt untold

We all suffer from guilt from time to time. For some it passes quietly for some it lingers for longer period. Those who suffer from Guilt suffer in silence. Here is a short poem which captures the varied experience with Guilt.  

Guilt Unfolds Strangely

For some it's the past gone,

For some it's the defining past,

For some it weighs few grams,

For some it weighs tons,

For some it's a brief episode,

For some it's a life sentence,

For some it's a Karma trap,

For some it's repentance,

Guilt unfolds strangely.

For some it's a spell,

For some it's conscience,

For some it's mental chatter,

For some it's an inner voice,

For some it's a storm,

For some it's an opportunity for peace,

Some resist,

Some embrace,

Guilt unfolds strangely.
