A fleeting palpitation
I could do it...
I could!
But guilt chastises
I didn’t do it
"This is the acceptance that I will never take my own life. Sadly, that is in some part due to the sheer guilt I feel in even just imagining what it would do to the people I leave behind. Years ago, I thought if I took my own life, it would release people from their burden of me. I no longer believe this. I believe we all have purpose and importance to at least one person and so even if guilt is the only thing stopping you, let it do so."
