Array ( [sid] => 21518 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Blame Game [time] => 2003-08-06 02:05:00 [hometext] => I wrote this for someone who says I blame everyone else for my problems. Truth is I have a million people to blame - I have lived the craziest 26 years known to man - and while I have good things in my world now - I also have memories of people who failed me when they had a responsibility to do right by me. For those of you who don't know - my mother was kidnapped and murdered - gave up both her children for the man who did it, left us with an abusive aunt.......god don't let me get started, this is only the beginning. Just know that the "blame game" is a crock in my case - I have every right to blame those who hurt me and made such drastic changes in my life. Some things just don't leave you - even if you really want them to go. [bodytext] => You refer to it as a game-
The places I lay the blame,
When it is here in my heart
That I carry the shame-
Of a life filled with scorn,
Memories I have worn
Too long to let them fade-
Though they be tattered and torn.
Shadows you cannot see
Without looking deep into me,
With eyes visible to my rage
Why I can never just let it be.
I walk a tightrope of emotion
My one and only devotion
Swept violently from beneath me
Still I keep wishing and hoping-
For a road I can travel out of my own life
A dream that doesn’t wake me up screaming at night-
Answers to the questions branded forever in my soul-
A prayer that someday these demons retire and let me go.

Yes you have every right to blame those who hurt you.. there are some blind people around us who could never percieve the truth.
and they never understand the troubles of others....child.. my eyes are filled with tears..

It's time you chased them demons away
rather than feed them and then expect them to retire.
Self pity can make anyone cry and if I were to seek
the justice I see due, I would resolve to vengeance
which opens up new chapters, more of the same.
Your worst enemy now is your memories, like mine.
'Sharp vinegar corrodes, destroys its' own container'
we are best forgeting even if forgiving may be harder.
