Beyond the Blame

In the garden of life where choices bloom

Some wander in shadows, consumed by gloom

They point fingers, casting blame like seeds

Yet in their hearts it's accountability they need

The air grows thick with the stench of their plight

As they roll in the filth, avoiding the light

But remember, dear soul, it's not yours to bear

The weight of their choices, the burdens they wear

Stand firm in your truth, let your conscience be clear

For you control only the actions you steer

Their path is their own with lessons to learn

In the fires of consequence let them burn

Let them wallow, let them fall

It's not your duty to answer their call

For in the end it's their own reflection

That reveals the source of their disconnection

In the dance of life we all have our part

To play with integrity, to follow our heart

So when they try to drag you into their mire

Hold fast to your light, let it inspire

For you are not the keeper of their fate

Nor the architect of their self-imposed state

Release their blame, let it drift away

And focus on the dawn of your own new day

In the tapestry of life weave your own thread

With colors of wisdom, not of dread

For you are the master of your own design

Let others find their own path in their own time

When they try to cast their shadow on you

Remember, it's their own darkness they must pursue

Stand tall, breathe deep, and let them see

That you are free from their blame, eternally free
