I still have the guilt of all of this in my head. Pushing me deeper into the depth of the deep blue sea. Does it ever get easier to see? Do I get braver as can be? What would it be like if I could just be free from this lifetime of guilt and shame. Why did I even survive when the odds were against me? What is my calling? Where do I go? Why am I always doubting myself, the person I am? The guilt and shame are pulling me like anchors to the bottom and I can only hold my breath for so long. Someone has to come and cut these anchors off or I'll drown and I wonder who this person could be to cut the anchors off because I would imagine if it were someone I already knew they would have already cut them off.
