Guilt is a painful thing
That everyone can feel.
Whether you are five or fifty
Whether you stole a cookie or one hundred dollars.
The feeling is the same.
It eats you up inside
Until you can't continue on.
Guilt can come from the simplest things
And sometimes it seems silly.
You may be able to stop it
But sometimes you can't.
Sometimes the guilt is something you put on yourself
And you can't do anything to make it stop.
You must learn how to live with the weight on your shoulders
Until that moment when it is no longer there.
