The guilt sits heavy

 The guilt sits heavy

for working
for staying home
for needing space
for craving time with them
and at the same time
aching for a moment to just breathe

No one tells you that guilt is actually love
tangled up in worry
proof that your heart is all in
even when it’s tired

It’s not about chasing the guilt away
it’s about seeing it for what it is
a reminder that you’re trying
to be everything for them
while still holding on to pieces of yourself

You’re not failing because you feel torn
you’re proving just how deeply you care
and how fiercely you love
