    I've been offering handwritten poems on a website and this is what I wrote. I let somehow else pick the subject I would write about. They picked guilt. My poems are usually whimsical, so this was different from my usual tone.....

    120 Years of Guilt

    My eyes are pressed firmly
    So I can see
    Things others don't
    This is what I've become
    A messiah, a monk
    Somehow transcending

    All you know is all you see
    All you become is all you can be
    When you cease to exist,
    you become numb
    When you exist,
    you become one

    Guilt will do strange things
    To your insides
    To your eyes
    I hold the truth in my veins
    What you hold is clear to me
    You harbour guilt

    Strength isn't built from guilt

    -M.R.

    I hope this is really your poem and not some scapegoat for another person hoping they understand any different than what is known. I really hope.
