Set your guilt Free by ~lollirotten-emma

Do I Have To?
Do I have to feel guilty
For the thoughts I hold inside?
And when, unbidden, there you pried,
Do I have to feel guilty
For the feelings you now abide?
Do I have to say I'm sorry
For the feelings you choose to hold?
Or if the day is ruined; and more days, untold.
Do I have to feel sorry,
Lest my heart begin to mold?
Do I have to apologize
For the person that I portray?
Can I lay aside for just one day,
Do I have to make apology;
Say "out damned spot", I'm really not okay?
Do I have to feel guilty?
Do I have to say I'm sorry?
Do I have to apologize?
No
The button shorted out!

An anthem for letting go of the guilt and obligation ... bravo! JP/deb
Hear hear!! There are few more damaging feelings/perspectives that we inflict upon ourselves - or allow to be inflicted. A nicely articulated counter to the pointlessness that is "guilt".
you chose a great picture to compliment the thoughts in this stirring piece - loved it!!!
