Guilt’s a good thing
If you learn from it.
It shows us the difference
Between wrong and right
If you put aside pride
And stubbornness.
Guilt is intuition, and
If you feel like shit
It’s because you should.
That’s what guilt is,
You being honest with you.
And yet here and there,
Guilt climbs aboard,
Uninvited and unmerited.
All that is, is guilt saying,
You are a good person
Who thinks too often
They aren’t living as they should.
