I blame my parents for being afraid
for showing me every sharp edge
and learning I might never be safe
I blame my parents for being lonely
for missing people I never had
and will never hold me
I blame my parents for my anxiety
the sleepless nights with cold hard truths
led to no sobriety
I blame my parents
because they are my parents
and I can blame them
for who I turned out to be
But when they are gone
and all I have are memories
I’ll just blame them
for leaving me.
