Poem: A Shadow that will Always Follow

Whatever I do, where ever I go
it follows me like a shadow;
but Guilt’s a price you pay for crimes
you do, for causing sorrow.

With the dagger of guilt pierced
in my heart I know I am to blame,
yet I wish I really don’t have to
hang my head in shame.

Above, the truth shines like the sun,
causing the shadow below;
It is the prize for what I’ve done,
a shadow that will always follow.
