This may be subject of the poem or may not. But what many don’t realize is that the number one symptom of melancholia (depression) is not sadness. It is guilt.
I think this is really interesting read aloud. There is a lot of emotion in it.
I try to be helpful in my reviews so if I may offer some constructive criticism, the 9th line is a bit confusing grammatically. Instead of “I bring pains”, it might work better as “It brings pain”. But I’m very bad at grammar so I can’t say much.
I enjoyed reading this, and liked it a lot!

I, too, want to know. What is it that makes you feel so guilty? What have you done and why did you do it? You must have had reasons - now reasons you doubt. It is always on my hands implies you have committed an action, not a thought, not a lie or words of betrayal. But, how can you be forgiven if we know not what to forgive?
thanks very much, i will struggle to make my mistakes.

The expressions are powerful, however the write needs a bit of polishing.
I'm not sure, if this line is structured the right way..
"OK! OK! You like to know?"
use of repetition is fine, but it's jarring ..
Capitals and exclamations make an impact, but it shifts the tone of the write.
May be it was intended, but worth another look.
On the contrary, the poem ends pretty nicely, it's smooth and well worded.
these ending lines:
"I bring pains to my heart
And pain to my soul"
Keep writing. Nice write, N-Arman!
This write has power, passion and emotions ...
Guilt breeds powerful emotions and sometimes we have to let them out, or they will completely consume us. But, reading your poem I want to know what is causing your guilt. You make us think you are about to reveal the secret, but then it abruptly ends.

The best thing about your poem is the sense of URGENT FEELINGS . . . this comes across well, especially with the use of exclamation points (this can be done too much, but yours is just right). I like the first half better than the second half. The first half is intense, I can feel how much you do NOT want to tell about your guilt. But the second half is a bit of a letdown. I didn't really get to see exactly what your guilt is about. DETAILS make writing more vivid & full of feelings. WHAT is this guilt all about?!?!?!?! That's what we still long to know, after finishing your poem.

There isn't much to make it SPECIFIC to GUILT. Guilt is usually becuz of something BAD we think we did. At least give me a glimpse of what is always on your hands. Did you kill someone? did you hurt someone? Did you walk away without explaining? Give us specifics to help us really FEEL the guilt you are agonizing about.
