Guilty Conscious

Really vague description of guilt

What was lost cannot be returned

As I look into the mirror I wonder what others see

If it's the despair I have learned

Or the lies I could be

From a young age I was shown what I could never be

Told of the person who would forever bleed

And as I fought to be free

I started to feel the weight of this need

It is easy to be lost in carelessness

Watching as my actions shape the lives around me

Oblivious to the consequences of such fearlessness

Too late I realized the power to destroy thee

Destruction

The beauty of falling apart

And the horror of deduction

As I realized the matters of the heart

For what place do I have to judge the value of life

When too long I have felt the end of a knife?

Your words dear Lavi. Like a line from a Hemingway book. Honest and true.
"It is easy to be lost in carelessness
Watching as my actions shape the lives around me
Oblivious to the consequences of such fearlessness
Too late I realized the power to destroy thee"
The above lines can be painful and not. If we didn't attempt love. We would be a empty ship with no place to go. A fearless life teaches us. Make the good days last and forget the bad days. Thank you my friend for sharing the outstanding poetry. You made the reader think. The goal of the writer.

I am honored that you think so. I do think that poetry is the place for me to be true. I can share the darkest and scariest parts of myself unafraid because we all share snippets of our lives and what we've seen. Thank you for your words of wisdom. I needed to hear that :)

I enjoy your work and you are welcome Lavi.
