WOW!! you summed up alot of what i have been dealing with for a long time in just a few lines. But I think that these are questions we ask and answers that we give ourselves over and over again and doubt that we will ever stop asking them no matter how many times we give ourselves the same answers.
Another great piece :)

Buck passers. I hear it every day. I don/'/t however subscribe to that mentality.
Suck it up and be responsible.
Wonderfully written words of wisdom!!!

whoa, this is uniquely how I think quite often
A - I am not equipped with the knowledge to figure this problem out.
B - it sucks to have failed without learning a darn thing,
failing = learning, being earnestly involved in learning something important - but for some like me, it takes a lot of practice.
C - I would hide that, the team player, hide that, no blame, I know what that/'/s like... I do
D - see B
E - somehow this sentiment carves me up
I think it makes me dream in ways I would never dream
and never ever seems dull - man I wish I knew why...
F - I want to, just wait it out so I can quit a handsome prince, just like I wish, once upon a time

Gee is for G - I Gould / it is in the water / where you came from Mr Mc

You got me thinking about that
I Could - I thought that a long time ago
deeply as though I could see the future
if I did

Peace!
