Guilty

Dedication:
This blog was inspired by my dearest friend's advice on letting those we love FEEL even if it's pain, sadness, or anger. We do not have to make them happy, or become sad, angry, or hurt along with them, nor feel guilty for being happy when they are not.

Guilty
Your sadness makes me sad
Your pain makes me hurt
Your anger makes me mad
Your dispair, for me, feels worse.

I can't let it affect me
I must keep it all inside
I must not be unhappy
But it's all a big damn lie.

I try to maintain composure
So negativity doesn't control
But it's complicated and I'm unsure
How to reach this goal.

My emotions run rampid
Up and down side to side
I feel like no matter what I do
I've failed you as your guide.
