WordPress Guilt



The emotions help.
They help when I write.
They fuel the urge to write.
Have I been a terrible person?
I know I have.
When the sister died.
I felt no sympathy.
I was actually  harsh.

"When the child gave birth to a child”
You see what I am talking about!
I showed no support.
I know we weren't related.
But we were classmates.

When he quit schooling.
I didn't support him.
I didn't see the PTSD hitting.
He was my blood.
He was the kindest.
But I didn't support him.
The cousin mentioned.
But I didn't take note.
I didn't take initiative.

When the friend was drowning in alcoholism,
I kept the distance.
I cut the bond.
I felt guilty for buying the pints.
Was I the cause?
Was abandoning him the move?
How do I help him.

I think I am the wiser
A better person I will be.
And hope to never be employed.
