guilt
___________________________________

I am drowning alive
in a pool of guilt.

like an iceberg afloat in the cold, numbing sea,
a smile is plastered on my face for the world to admire but beyond the surface
is a different me.

the smile eventually sinks
in the guilt of hurting intentionally.

the guilt that never fades away unlike the upward curve
of my lips.

it takes over my body and soul.
it takes over everything
that is left.

I'm slowly dying in a way
I never imagined I would.

we are all dying unknowingly and what left is
just a void body.
