To Blame

April 3, 2012

I'm sorry for misbehaving
I’m sorry I can’t do everything the right way
I’m sorry I’m not always there
When you most need me
I'm sorry I’m lost in my own world
I'm sorry I haven’t been the best
Child that you could have If I can apologize for being wrong
Then it’s just a shame on me
I’ll be the reason for your pain
And you can put the blame on me

I'm sorry for not being there to hold your hand
I’m sorry I missed a few birthdays
I'm sorry I'm not the best older sister
That I always wanted to be.
If I can apologize for being wrong
I'm sorry it took me this long
I’m the reason for your pain
And you can put the blame on me

I’m sorry that I drove you away
I’m sorry things didn’t work out
I’m sorry you say I drove you insane
Though I'm not sure that was the case
I’ll willingly take that blame.
I’ll apologize for being wrong
I hope it’s what you wanted me to say
I’m the reason for your pain
And you can put the blame on me

I’m sorry for a stupid joke
I should start watching what I say
I’m sorry I’m overbearing
Like everyone seems to think
I'm sorry I really tried
Maybe now you’ll finally hear
The things I’ve been trying to say
Through your childish behavior
And even though we are both to blame
I’m the one that will take the shame
I’ll deal with the pain
And you can put the blame on me

Though I know I’ve failed you
Though I know I’m someone else
The person in the mirror
I’m apologizing to you as well
Because this is what I’ve turned to
Can’t say that I'm that proud
I’m sorry for what you’ve been through
I’m sorry it can’t change now
Apologizing for being wrong
Won’t change a single thing
But in the end we all can agree
That I'm the one to blame.

I'm a fiction writer as well as a poet. Just recently graduated from University Heights High School, the birth school of Power Writers the program that started the Power Poetry ideal. I have been a writer for a majority of my life, and a Power Writer for the past four. I am enrolling in college to get an English degree so I can teach high school English classes, and maybe one day write my own book. Poetry has been my homage for many years now and has helped me through some of my very own personal struggles and led the way towards the healing of these things. I would be more than happy to help and offer my opinion to everyone, as well as share my own stories. We are all here not only to create but to connect. Becca.

Sometimes it is easier to take the blame for something that we have done wrong than to make a change. We cannot reverse what we have done, but we can take action to influence our future for the better. My favorite line is "The person in the mirror / I'm apologizing to you as well" because that line shows how we have to be able to apologize to ourselves before we can apologize to anyone else.
