THE BLAME GAME

Mum and Dad, its all your fault
So, I'll blame you. For my childhood
and everything I do.
When things go wrong, I'll blame you
When I lose friends, I'll blame you and
I hope to shame you into believing this
Is true. When I lose my job, money and
my relationship too,
I will blame it all on you.
It's all your fault, to block out the pain
of my childhood blues,
that is why I use.
It's never my fault, that's my excuse
when I'm coming down and feeling blue
Its all your fault, So I'll blame you
when I steal to get on and use,
its because of your abuse,
my denial, self loathing and drug use.
Its easier to blame you when I
hit rock bottom, and all my friends
have OD'd and are gone, I'll blame you.
So I can get high and not have to mourn.
I don't have the courage to own my own faults.
So, I'll blame you, lashing out with horrid insults.
Why; Because I'm an addict and I self abuse.
Until the day, I have the courage to say
I own my own faults, its not you, its me
Help me please, through recovery
Mum and Dad, please forgive me
I'm sorry.
