The Only One I Can Blame

I spent my entire life acknowledging all the lessons I learned; and all the bridges that I burned,
trying to keep a hold of all the wisdom I earned; but yet it turns out that I’m the one who forgot my own standards that I set for myself as a man,
 Somewhere along the way I lost direction and forgotten my plan.
I’m glad that I’m aware; so I can understand what I did,
 Because I never thought I’d lose focus and start neglecting my kids.
 Hiding behind tears and acting stupid plus I’m steady wasting the years; but yet it appears I have all kinds of people that I can blame,
 And now I stopped pointing fingers because I realize that I’m doing the same. 
Now I’m going insane…  Seems like the devil’s calling my name,
 I don’t want to be another one that avoids the issues and try to end the game,
 Because I don’t want the word quitter be attached to my name,
 So I need to toughen up and try and maintain…
I know when all the drama is over… I’m the only one I can blame.

louis gander,  

This is one of the best poems about our failed efforts that I've ever read. Very well said. I see myself in it. It's a good thing that GRACE and FORGIVENESS takes care of it all. IF not for JESUS, we would all be seeing fire and brimstone. Being FAITHFUL is the key to everlasting life. We can NEVER change the past, but we can faithfully walk in His footsteps and be a better person. Again, this is a good one :) ~louis

maryam muhammad,  

I love the poem. It made me open my eyes to the fact that no one is to blame for my issues but me. Great one.
