Guilt Quilt

There are hidden depths to my emotions,

There are caves and caverns in my soul.

There are craters large enough to drive through-

My life's become known as a black hole.



I must carefully cull this tendency

To overburden my life with guilt-

Its many different forms and patterns

Like the patches in a patchwork quilt.



It's no use. I don't think I can stop now

No matter how badly I want to.

I seem to be adjusted to this mode

Like the fit of a comfortable shoe.
