Shame & Guilt

Shame and Guilt,

Were ever present-

They kept me silent.

Was it my fault?

Was I just crazy?

Shame and guilt,

Nearly destroyed me-

With its poisonous words-

Ever before me.

Words that paralyzed me,

With fear-

And kept me silent to its loudness.

Who could slaughter-

Shame and guilt,

As it was out to destroy me?

The blood of Jesus-

Was the only powerful thing-

That could destroy the poison,

of shame and guilt.

In God's freedom and love,

I live-

For He is the source of life and love-

For my soul.
