Prompt: Denying Guilt

Purpose: Bleak

Prompt convo:
Xalu, God Of Hatred: Do you blame yourself?
Namos: What?
Xalu, God Of Hatred: Well, it's quite common in this situation for a person to feel some type of...Guilt.
Namos: What situation?
Xalu, God Of Hatred: The accident.

In shadows deep, where hatred resides,
Xalu, the God, with words he chides.
“Do you blame yourself?” he asks with glee,
As guilt’s heavy cloak engulfs me.

“What situation?” I question, confused,
His gaze, piercing and keen, I’m accused.
“The accident,” he whispers with spite,
A moment, a tragedy, lost in the night.

But I, with steadfast resolve, deny,
Unaware of his accusations awry.
“No accidents caused, no pain I’ve dealt,
Guilt’s burden upon me, I’ve never felt.”

Denial, my shield, he scoffs and sneers,
For guilt, he claims, brings despair and tears.
Yet I stand firm, innocence proclaimed,
No evidence shown, no truth defamed.

Innocent or guilty, truth I seek,
A mere pawn in his game, I won’t be meek.
Baseless accusations, I won’t abide,
Manipulation’s grasp, I’ll cast aside.

For guilt, unfounded, can’t break my soul,
I won’t succumb, I’ll remain whole.
Righteousness and truth shall guide my way,
Through darkness, I’ll find the light’s pure ray.

Xalu laughs, dark laughter echoes loud,
But I won’t bow beneath his shroud.
Guilt’s weight, I refuse to bear,
A burden unjust, I’ll never wear.

In pursuit of truth, my spirit shall rise,
Redemption and growth before my eyes.
Guilt’s grasp, I’ll resist with unwavering strength,
Embracing hope, embracing its length.

So, Xalu, your words shall not deceive,
In bleakness, my spirit won’t believe.
For I choose to embrace a different song,
Where resilience and truth shall make me strong.
