Personal Acountabilirty
within my own actions
of my own knowldesge
of my own past of things of places
of who and what and when i try my best to be personaly accountable
moments of colapse
angry feelings of hurt
no closure for the selfish amends
personal acountability
weighs on my soul
this burden i would not wish to shift upon anybody
i try to carry my own weight
and struggle along the way
familiar mistakes and dances with danger
friendly strangers as leaders
of what they didnt know they taught
made me see
what i was missing from inside my head all along
the turned cheek that saved me
still personal acountability weighs upon me
you needed no sheltering for making the right choices
and offering refuge
for someone elses baby
I am sorry for my trespasses
