The Blame Game

Blame it on
Your abusive father
Your mother in denial
Your failed education
Blame it on
Everyone and anything else
Never take any responsibility
For your own actions

It's the drink
The broken mirror
That tore me apart
It's a deaf god
Who lied about love

Blame it on
My insecurities
My fragile self
My insufferable needs
Everyone and anything else
Don't take responsibility
For how you've treated me

It was the cigarettes
That filled my lungs
Full of lies
That filled my mouth
The weight of expectations
That broke my mind
That drove me into madness
Because you didn't help me.
