The Blame Game
The Blame Game©
I am irate, I want to be angry
Something has set me off
And I want someone to be responsible
To be the target of my rage
I just want to let loose
To vent this unexplained feeling
It is like a storm that has brewed
And now like a tornado wants to become a twister
To unleash that which has been pent up
Now looking for someone to thrust my energy upon
A nameless victim who doesn’t even see it coming
Who will be the benefactor of the thrust released
Likely someone who is close like a spouse or a friend
Or maybe a complete stranger
Unaware of the catalyst
That will spark this verbal assault
I just need that someone who will listen
To my frustration, my angst, my worries
Hear what I have to say and just be
The voice of reason
And as time passes
As I journal and negotiate with myself
It has begun to dissipate, to unravel
And the storm has passed
There is no one to blame
It was all part of the game
