Attitude

Victim to blame With Bits of Shame Because I couldn't get over the fact you hurt me And til this day I cry Because the hardest thing to do is Forgive Let Go and Let God And turn the other cheek For years, I've been consumed with self pity Ignited in bitterness My tears should be used for lighter fluid I have more self control now So I don't have to accept all the pain But sometimes your words of alcohol, still leave an itch in my wounds I am, left with scars But now I scratch off the scabs And embrace those marks as a part of my beauty You are not the blame And I am not the victim For I have learned that "every man shall be put to death for his own sin" I won't carry your burdens anymore I rather throw them over board Ridding myself of a bad back And an even worst attitude I will sail without you
