To One Person

Don’t blame me for all your strife,  
Please don’t seek to justify.  
Don’t point the finger at the rest,  
For lofty dreams, they must invest.

You alone hold fate’s embrace,  
Dreams can’t thrive in a timid space.  
You alone bear all the blame,  
If you can’t find your way to claim.

If you won’t toil to reach your dreams,  
Can others bear the weight of schemes?  
When one avoids their own response,  
They cast their blame, a common stance.
