Who are they?

Those that tell me not to feel guilt - as though a blanket to protect me from a speck of dust.

Don’t feel guilty for poisoning my body with bad food and drink choices, in excess.

Don’t feel guilty for laziness.

Don’t feel guilty for using another person’s body for my own pleasure.

Don’t feel guilty for idling my time at work.

Don’t feel guilty for sharing another person’s news.

Don’t feel guilty for spending money that is not my own.

Don’t feel guilty.

You do you.

And I wonder, after this litany, why am I unhappy, unable to stand up right.

Stand upright.

Have I done the right things? How do I know?

Probably, maybe. They told me it’s ok.

Who are they?
