Poetic Memoirs of a Broken Man




WHO’S THE BLAME
from the book Tell It All and Be Made FREE!

Has the failures in your life, been blamed on others
Your sisters, or perhaps, even your brothers
Do you find yourself saying, it wasn’t my fault
Or, don’t blame me, for the things that you’ve lost

Do you find that you ask the question, why didn’t someone tell me
Or, I had nothing to do with it, so just let it be
Do you point your fingers at others, and say, they are the blame
Only shielding yourself, from any possible shame

When you give up on yourself, and stops wanting to even try
That’s when you start blaming others, and start asking why

You start with the why, and then it turns to who
Now stop looking for others, it’s not about blame, it’s all about you
