No One To Blame But Yourself
by
Robert Cameron Hazelton
Deviously cunning
You plot and prevaricate.
Circumstances threatening
You hastily abate.
With cool, measured words you try
To circumvent your fate,
A shame you couldn’t face the truth
Until it was much too late.
With ungracious thoughts you slowly kneel
Pleading to be told why,
But the answer is within yourself
Hidden well by your Ego’s lie.
The hardest thing for a mortal to do
Is admit they didn’t try,
And the tears you waste upon yourself
Are ones you never should have had to cry.
