Guilt can be a heavy burden to bear, weighing us down and holding us back from living our lives to the fullest. In this poem, we will explore the journey of freeing oneself from the chains of guilt, and the liberation that comes with forgiveness and self-love.

Shadows of the past night keep following you,

The memories still linger somewhere in your brain,

Haunting your every step and thought,

A reminder of all that was lost and gained.

The weight of the past can be heavy to bear,

A burden that seems impossible to share,

But know that you are not alone in this fight,

And there is always hope in the darkest of night.

Let go of the pain and embrace the light,

For the future is bright and full of delight,

And though the shadows may try to hold you down,

You have the strength to rise above and wear the crown.

The memories of the past can be bittersweet,

A reminder of all that was once so neat,

But do not let them consume you whole,

For there is a new story waiting to be told.

The sun rises with a new day,

And with it comes the chance to find your way,

To break free from the chains of the past,

And embrace a future that will forever last.

It may seem scary to let go,

To venture into the unknown,

But trust in yourself and your own strength,

And you will find a new path to take.

The shadows of the past may follow you,

But they do not define you or your truth,

For you are more than the sum of your parts,

And you hold the power to mend your broken heart.

So take a deep breath and let it all out,

Release the doubts, the fears, the self-doubt,

For you are capable of so much more,

And the possibilities are endless to explore.

Embrace the present with open arms,

And let go of all that once caused harm,

For the future is bright and full of hope,

And there is no limit to what you can cope.

Shadows of the past may still be there,

But with each step forward, you become more aware,

Of the strength and resilience that you possess,

And the beauty that lies in your own uniqueness.

You are not defined by the pain of the past,

But by the love and light that forever lasts,

So shine on, dear one, and never forget,

That you are a treasure that the world needs to get.

Shadows of the past may still linger,

But know that you are a brave fighter and a winner,

And with each day that passes by,

You will find a new reason to smile and try.

So hold your head high and embrace the light,

For you are a beacon of hope in the darkest of night,

And with every single step forward, you will find,

That the bitter shadows of the past will soon be left behind.
