I enjoyed your poem in ten lines. It takes a lot of nerve to make amends for hurts inflicted in the past. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Wow. This piece of work is very deep and thought provoking.

You wrote this from a perspective that we don't usually see.

Well done master Poet. Well done

I do not think that one "summons the will to make amends." Isn't the choice to make amends an outcome of confronting and understanding the wrong in what one chose to do?
On the other hand, will is needed to overcome the shame that is part of the responsibility, so in that sense this works. I like the idea of "secret scars," and its two esses sound. I think "craved" was meant to be 'carved.'
This is an excellent poem about guilt, a topic that has empowered endlessly the written and spoken word.
