For some it's the past gone,
For some it's the defining past,
For some it weighs few grams,
For some it weighs tons,
For some it's a brief episode,
For some it's a life sentence,
For some it's a Karma trap,
For some it's repentance,
Guilt unfolds strangely.

For some it's a spell,
For some it's conscience,
For some it's mental chatter,
For some it's an inner voice,
For some it's a storm,
For some it's an opportunity for peace,
Some resist,
Some embrace,
Guilt unfolds strangely.
