I'M the One To Be Blamed

I’m the one to blame

All the bad things happening to my life
I’m the one to be blame	
Because I am the ceo of my life
I’m the chairperson of my life
I am the controller of my life
I am the one who decide who shouldn’t stay and who should stay
I am the one who is hurting myself 
I am the one who holds my life down
I am the one who destroy my future
I make decisions on whatever advice I got from others
I am the one to be blamed to all the good and bad that is happening in my life
I am the one who hold my intelligence 
I am the one who control my self esteem 
I am the one who give opinion to others of who I am
I am the writer of my sad life story and good life story

All that happens I’m the one to be accountable for
I don’t like people taking blames for things they don’t know
Things I created, things I did, things I know why they are happening
I am the one to be blamed to all things I’m accountable for doing 
I am going to take the blame
I am going to be a woman who takes responsibility for her action
I am going to stand up and clean all the mess I did in my life
I am ready to look back and look forward and say to myself I will never repeat that mistake
I am learning from my mistake
I am going to learn from all the blame I took 
I am going to be the best leader of my life

The poem tells a good story. It is good to blame yourself for your own mistakes but, Palesa, in life we always have people who participate in our lives, maybe as the cause of our actions or reacting to our actions. I usually blame myself up to a certain limit and leave a space to point a finger because, normally, I do not want to die for other people's sins, hence, I am not Christ.
