I have basked in my own shame for years at this point wondering if i am still the good person i was or if i have become a certified bonafide bad person, the bad person i have built a caricature in my mind over the years as a way to pedestal myself above those who either most definitely are or are not above me

am i spiritually bankrupt or just temporarily misguided

a hand reaches from my gut to my mind telling me to implode

i do want to continue, i think
