My word carries very little weight
....I carry very little weight
I buckle under the weight of
my own expectations
I hope I will forgive myself
...I really do
Feelings of guilt overwhelm me
Sometimes self-pity and rage
Where I am I do not know,
Where I was, only a distant memory in my mind
I am afraid to go
I am afraid to stay
If I could turn back the hands of time
...I would not
I know not what I would become still
I have not learnt from my past,
of which I find myself in bonds
I am enslaved to thoughts of regret
A slave to my limitation
I hope I forgive myself someday
...I really do
