Feeling the Guilt

The burden of guilt

weighs heavy upon my shoulders.

Depletes, consumes me.

Guilt - Unable to see that someone

I love is suffering,  yearning for

help. Needing me.

When I am struggling myself.

Guilt -  My fault they are in this place.

I failed them in some way. Not

realizing just how far they have

fallen. Was not the perfect

parent.

Guilt - For being clueless of really 

what to do, how to help. If 

what I have done, is not enough.

Guilt - For wanting to turn a blind eye.

Flee from the occurring.

Let someone else take control 

to weather the storm.

Feeling guilty.

Living with guilt.
