542. Chains Of Guilt Poem by Jaden Knight
542. Chains Of Guilt
My guilt appears to have forged itself
into a heavy chain of steel
a collar has clamped around my neck
choking me with its weight
It seems to get heavier every day
as it snakes behind me rattling evily
hindering my intended progress
constantly holding me back
Then one day I noticed some rust
that appeared to spread slowly through
with a mighty tug I broke loose
showering the links into the air
they evaporated in the morning sun
as if they have never existed
Am happy to enjoy my new found freedom
as I stride on with more confidence
guilt will never burden me in the same way again
am free to continue my growth
with nothing to drag me back
