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
