Blame Game

Casey
Everything is my fault

Everyone can always find a way to blame me

And what in the hell did I do?

What did I honestly do that would warrant this persecution?

All I ever do is clean up and try to do my best

But nothing is ever good enough

I will never measure up to her standards

I cannot sacrifice enough to satisfy

Someday soon I am going to crack

My mind has not healed yet

From the trials I've endured

Five years I lived being beaten like a man

I will not walk on eggshells again

For a middle aged woman who needs to control

I will not bow to her beck and call

I've lived through this a thousand times worse

I will not go backwards in my life

Only forwards

Homeless I do not care

Penniless bring it on

But I will not live like this again

    I empathize with you. Really, I do. My tormentor has been gone for many years now, but the memories are ever with you. And it really does affect how you live your life elsewhere.
