It's a Shame, To Blame Thee

<
It's a shame, to blame, if you're looking for fame, look elsewhere. 
See you're wrong. You believe not me, but wrongfully, you believe.

 I  have not the wits to write the right words.
It may be a disaster in every letter, I try to make it better.

It's depressing and tiring, stressful, discouraging at the  least, it pays a toll on ones soul.  It brings me down, it feels like I've been kicked around. I try to stay in my calm place, but my anxiety goes through the roof 
why can't I get over this bail of hay, its like taking a long road to some grove, only to find it was never real..

My efforts and hard work seemed to be, but was not for me, my family is  the reason my motivation was in the right place. I still stand up right, and firm. I stand strong, no matter how wrong you may be, I'm not the one you should have your eye on, it's me keeping it right,
It's a shame to blame thee.
