You can blame me for speaking truth you aren’t ready to hear.
For making the cloudiness of the veil all too clear.
For not allowing you to lie or manipulate me.
For bringing clarity with a loud boom, which crashes through all the lies you speak.
You can blame me for caring more about you more then you do yourself, for not caring about worldly possessions over your heart and spiritual wealth.
You can blame me for pointing out only the facts.
For speaking on the right and wrong and not taking it back.
For speaking up and out for justice in a world that stopped caring.
Lay it all on me I’ll bare the burden of truth.
Here’s the facts.
I’m not sorry and I’ll never take it back.
I won’t sit in ignorance pretending nothings wrong, in a world where people rather die instead of returning home.
Home was supposed to be a safe haven… almost heaven like in the ways of love.
I can only speak for me when I say it was nothing like the statement I made above.
I AM NOT SORRY, I didn’t become who you wanted me to be.
I may be a product of you, but I was always meant to be me.
I am not sorry for the life that I lived, I will no longer apologize for my existence.
If you don’t like who I became, well sorry to say…. To all parents.
YOU ALONE Chose the partner, had the sex, kept the pregnancy, taught and molded me, you raised this kid. It’s time to ask yourself why you don’t like what you see?
All that I learned was what was available to me, all of my traits I copied from you as I grew into me. Children are a product of their environment so now ask yourself what environment did you give to create me?
We can all try and pretend, leave the past in the past and never talk again I’m fine with that.
I won’t lie and pretend it’s okay when I fight every day to battle the hate you send when you look my way, think of my name or see my face.
Especially when in reality it’s your own personal anger and rage… your mad because I’m not your ideal, truth be told it’s not hard to heal.
However it is hard to take a look inside, you may come to find the face you look to hate is yours not truly mine.
I try and try and tried again realistically if there was any chance of hope, I will try until your dying day.
I can’t force you to open up so instead, I leave you in nothing but love, if we never speak again… I hope this crosses your path because when I leave this time without a miracle I won’t be looking back.
I will keep marching forward and carry you in my heart waiting for the day to come when we no longer have to be apart.
I don’t blame you I haven’t for years, I only wished you could see it from my side too just as I forced myself to do it with you.
I hope you find peace within your mind and comfort in your heart, I hope you’re surrounded by those you need to keep you from falling apart. I hope you forgive yourself for all you allowed and maybe one day you will finally be proud.
I won’t apologize for who I have become, I have made my mistakes and paid for each and every one. I have walked the line and looked inside I destroyed my heart and shattered my pride.
I took all the pain that I had held and I picked it apart and found the story waiting to unfold. I began to make sense of a world that doesn’t make sense to me and through the pain I found the map that set me free.
I stepped out of my life and became an observer of it all and I watch as history continues to repeat as so many force themselves to repeat it all. So afraid of being alone they choose the abuse because it has become all that is known.
So here is my personal rise to the call!
I don’t blame you for anything anymore our story ends here for now.
I am now mother and I too have created pain and trauma within my children. Although I never intended which is why it’s so easy for me to forgive you.
Only here is where my focus is…
I’m not afraid to say I hurt my kids, I taught them wrong things as I also did that best that I could. I’m not afraid to admit I was wrong or to look at myself and take accountability and for that I am strong.
I’m also aware that the journey is their own, I only wish to walk independently aside them and repair the foundation of this broken home, brick by brick, piece by piece, heart to heart. I know that my sentence is patience since I caused the pain in them I don’t get to say when it starts.
Now as a mom this part gets hard, as a person I also have my own heart. So here it gets tricky so give me a moment to break it down so you understand the components.
Hurt people hurt people, healing people heal people. To hurt people, it feels like healing people cause pain.. why because being it forces you to see that you also may be to blame for why things aren’t the way you want them to be. It doesn’t allow you to sit in a place of ignorance and bliss pretending you just don’t see. So it is not my place to force it to be.
I sit with hope that a day will come when you will be ready for more and when you do, you will find me there holding open the door.
I won’t beg you or bother you.. I will promise you and always remind you that you’re never truly alone and when you come knocking you will find that in my arms is always your home.
I don’t care to judge you trust me I understand, I have been there too so I won’t lie I am simply a huMan and I too have a dark side. The only difference is I picked mine apart I am clearing all that isn’t me away to find the brilliance of my heart.
The lies you tell you tell for yourself I understand that too, in a world built on deceit it’s what you’re forced to eat when you rely on the material world to fill the void inside.
That’s not the world where I want to live so this is the last thing I’m sorry for when it comes to me… I can’t play stupid when I see the truth, I won’t lie or pretend it’s not happening, I won’t stand for injustice so that I can remain untouched. I don’t blame anyone for what they have to do to survive the day. I do ask that you don’t blame me for trying to create a better way.
For me there is another way, yes it is lonely and yes I cry but I won’t give up, I will always try and until my time comes.
I rather be alone in my authenticity then allow another to speak hate to me or over me when it is not in truth. I have no issue taking the blame give it all to me so I can learn to but make sure when you do it’s in nothing less then absolute truth.
I have enough burdens to bare alone. All I ask is when you approach come with only truth and a willingness to grow because the truth is I need you I can’t do it alone.
I love you with all that I am, I don’t want anything from you other then what you want to share with me. I love you for you as I love me for me.
I won’t dim my light, I won’t hide my weird and I also won’t destroy your life by having you be associated with the likes of me…
So in the background of your world I exist creating my dreams of a world where we are free to simply be. I’ll protect my bubble and when we float by each other I’ll send you all the love you need.
