Guilt
is a dirty word
I laughed And was so happy It was sunny in my soul My eyes were bright.
Then it came A dark ugly cloud Looming over my thoughts Lurking into my bliss. I looked away Pushed it out of my mind Tried to smile Even succeeded for a while;
But when I turned the next corner There it was again Peeping at me Devilishly.
You evil thing Let me enjoy my happiness Let me breathe my joy In peace.
Get away you menace Being happy is not a sin Love is not a crime That I am being punished.
Torn by guilt for desiring Tortured for feeling alive Why do you insist on being The thorn in my side?
