I Failed Myself

October 20, 2015

I feel so empty

There is nothing inside

I feel so guilty

I have hurt my pride

I feel much sorrow

Not anger or hate

All for the greater good

Is what I'll say

I did not fail him

I did not fail her

I failed myself

With a conceited blur

It was the right thing to do

I keep telling myself

Yet I feel so guilty

Though it affects no one else
