You cannot make me feel
     guilty.

You cannot put me
     away in a dark cold corner or
           make me feel ashamed.

Only I can do that to myself
     and I woke up
           a long time ago and found

you cannot make me feel

guilty.

A good strong write, Kacy!  Hard to escape from those who would send you on a guilt trip and best not to make any of your own.

Guilt like any other emotion is in our hands alone to absorb or expel.  I am so glad to see a write that will give some advice to those that take on that guilt, as it is really a very destructive thing to do for them, and for any connection to the person that gave it to them.  Good message Kacy.

Midnitesun,
  I understand this one!  Glad to see you make up your mind-guilt serves little purpose but hinder.If there are problems, guilt only fogs them more!  Glad to read this.
