How does one stay the guilt of being

a burden willingly taken?

The mind kept by others is weary of dreaming.

Innocence was the age of knowing

nothing once in shadow Awareness cannot awaken.

How does one stay the guilt of being?

Limitations understood without uttering,

only words can liberate when spoken.

The mind kept by others is weary of dreaming.

Thoughts paced with a broken trust breed doubting.

We are told some loves are unconditionally given.

How does one stay the guilt of being?

Reality is a battle fought with ignoring.

There, hope feels forsaken.

The mind kept by others is weary of dreaming.

Sealed away beneath a facade of smiling

these: secrets untold, as thoughts, forbidden.

How does one stay the guilt of being?

The mind kept by others is weary of dreaming.
