Is Guilt A Poem Or A Story?

By Mechele Cassells

First of all.. Is guilt a poem or a story? Either way it needs to be told.

Edify Me

Guilt is a sliver that I can't get out
Your picking only makes it worse.
Guilt is a burn underneath my skin
I can't push it out and it won't stop digging.
It won't stop screaming the things that hurt most
It won't stop ringing in my head
In my heart

I believe it's my fault once again.
Because I didn't do it your way,
because I couldn't be Jesus,
Because I didn't do anything you expected.

Guilt your a conversationalist on an airplane who won't shut up.
Fifteen hours until landing and I can't get you out.
It makes me feel like jumping through the window.

But guilt, your a locked window on an airplane
and your making faces at me because I'm trapped inside.
Your on the outside and I have to listen to the
big ugly sound that somehow communicates meaning. Into my ears it forces comprehension and fault.

Deserting my ideas I adopt yours and find my mistakes self defeating.
I know that this is too high a price to pay alone.
I have no money.
Somebody Please…
Edify me and tell me I will be okay.
