a lead weight rests
in the center of my chest
dragging me down
oppressing and draining
my spirit grows weak
hollow and empty
drained of my joy
punished for feeling
I have done nothing
committed no crime
yet feel guilty inside
in need of redemption
but it was only ONE donut!!!
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
