Guilt


Brainwashed, psycho, stupid Words swirl around my head As I lay crying in bed Who can love such a girl? Life is all a-whirl Tear after tear wash down my face There’s no room in this empty place So stuffed with anger and bitterness My only hope is to enter the wilderness But all I have is this pen It should know better My mind in its fetter My heart is distraught I should have fought When all I want to do is sleep. The gift of mercy is a curse When all the world’s a purse. How can I broken heart heal When its required to broker a deal In a one-way war?
