Why Do I Feel This Guilt?

For something I cannot control

“Why Do I Feel This Guilt?” |©Design by Kiran Kumar

I’m guilty
for what I can’t give
to the loveliest people
that I call my own.

What is outside
my control is not within my reach.
Yet, why do I still feel the
guilt that shouldn’t
belong to me?
