Hidden Treasure

Debbie Miller
Nov 11, 2021

My morality interferes with my pleasure-

It’s like I see a room full of hidden treasure-

And I guiltily turn away even though I have the key

To experience things if only I were free.

Free of guilt from breaking societies laws:

It’s that guilt that always causes me to pause.

Even though what I long for is mine for the taking,

I always turn away from my heart that is breaking.
