Guilt

A wave of voices is headed your way
From which direction it's coming
isn't clear
Frozen to the ground
you stand amazed
feel the earth trembling,
they're getting near

The weather is changing
from warm and pleasant to
threathening and cold
Chills run down your spine
Scream without a voice,
nowhere to hide
Curled up like a little child,
you think you're safe
Cradle yourself
to calm you down

Still afraid to look, wispering
"There's no one here,
I am safe"
There is no more sound,
only pure silence

The cradling stops,
will you dare to look up?
Slowly raising your head,
your eyes need to adjust
A shadow is cast,
all around
Surrounded by faces,
fingers pionted at you

Stand up
and defend yourself
Raise your head high
and shoulders straight
Time
to confess
