She blamed her dad,
Or lack of one,
Who left when she was a little girl.

She blamed her mom,
And the men she brought home,
Night after night after night after night.

She blamed her school,
Who didn't understand
Why she didn't understand what they told her to do.

She blamed her friends,
Who left her, abandoned,
When she had nothing left she could give.

She blamed the stories
She read as a kid,
Tricking her mind with love and happy endings.

She blamed her first boyfriend
Who stole her virginity,
And left her: scared and cold and alone.

Se blamed society
And all it's minions
For casting her away like she was a freak.

She blamed the doctors
For lying to her.
Telling her she was okay when she knew she wasn't.

But most of all,
She blamed herself.
For being unable to give life a second chance.
