Who's Left To Blame?
How everyone is good at pointing the finger and attacking when called out. Also how no one likes to look at themselves as the problem. However if there are long standing problems that don't change, chances are looking inward is the key. Theres two truths to blame, the things done to you were wrong and not your fault and how one continues to treat others because of those wounds is ones own problem to mend, not others. Why is the most powerful question and when followed can lead to the root of ones continuing childhood wounds
Syllabic truth flowing through the grooves
However, empty it all seems to prove
The same ends to the same means
Different cycles with scraped knees
Emotions colour and decorate
Nothing of value disintegrates
Too many voices all want to have a say
No one speaking anyway
Enough truth to disguise dishonesty
Enough lies to discredit your mind
When does it end?
Do I return in kind?
Disastrous love from all sides
Everyone searching
Pretending and yearning
Never learning
Fingers point and blame settles in
When did mirrors get so thin?
No recognition of the reflection
If we can’t trust our own eyes
To see the lies stuck in our teeth
How will we ever collectively grow?
I guess it's true
Nothing will ever change
The empty rhetoric
Repeated infinitely
The only way out is through
Through the self, buried in the masks
Hidden from plain view
Everyone sees their truth in the lies of others
As I can see through everyone too
No one's eyes seem to work inward
Inversely cursing everything we need still
When we needed it most
It was out of stock
When called out paternal, maternal, infernal
Shock and disbelief ensue
No one believes you
Everyone else is at fault
However, at the root
Its always you
The fault is never ours to start
Generational fears passed on
Blame for the ones that failed you, while true
Its still no excuse
If the cycles never stop
Who's left to blame?

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
