When it eats from inside you

When it consumes you all the way

From top to bottom

When it turns you into something

Akin to a piece of cheese full of holes

Trying to lure in Jerry

With Tom waiting for the moment

To hear the "click"

Of the rattrap you are caught up in.

'

When you erupt

In its red flames

Your ashes

That make a pathway

From where you stood

To where you are now

All that smoke choking others

To no end

A worthless piece of trash

To all

Who was destined to be ignored.

'

The lone one

The priceless treasure of mother

But not so much to those surrounding you.

'

When it corrodes your already rusted insides...

'

Why guilt,

That has nothing to do with you,

Nothing to do with something,

That is beyond your control,

Has to be so venomous?

'

A baby

That grows into

An old man

In no time.

'

The man

Whom no one

Is fond of

All that much.

'

That's who

Guilt is.

'

And that's who

He will always be.
