Despair and Guilt

Ghosts of the past !! Can you ever find forgiveness?

     Guilt and despair go hand in hand.

Does one mirror the other?

What is deep in your soul?

When you glance in the mirror.

Is there a ghost from the past?

Leering menancingly in slander.

You fleetingly avert your gaze,

Trying to ignore the murmur.

Maybe you should just lingere.

Catch a glimpse of the fiend !

Contemplate a bit deeper

Surprisingly bewildering you'll find.

It will throw a curve ball.

Because when said and done

Guilt is masking a lie.

You've just accepted a situation.

The soul festers on naught.

All blown out of proportion.

Trying to fill a lull,

Nothing eases the suffering.

The other party may have forgiven you.

But you won't ever relinquish.

Nurturing the monster within.

Letting it sap your endurance.

Try to exonerate yourself.

Permitting peace to reappear .

Freeing up the inner brook,

Flowing freely once more.

Is most hard to face oneself and see what we are, rather than what we want to see. But forgiving ourselves is the hardest of all.

Excellent!
