Guilt

New day, new things to see and do
Yet the feeling I should do something
Or not do something
Pervades me

What is it that I ought to do?
I don't know
What is it that I shouldn't do?
I don't know either
But the feeling remains
Lurking
Gnawing
And I'm clueless

Should I say something instead?
But what is there to say?
And to whom?
That feeling's there too
Vague
Apprehensive
And I'm clueless

For every action
Or inaction
Consequences follow
Guilt comes
I dread the consequences
I seek advice
