Breaking the Blame

They point their fingers, say it's all my fault

Every time I fall, they watch me crumble

But I just want a chance to breathe

To find my way, to feel relief

Woke up in the morning, the blame was on my name

They don't see the pain I hide, only point and shame

I try to change, I try to stay strong

But every mistake feels so wrong

Can I get some understanding?

Or just more accusations?

All I want is love, not judgment

Is that too much to ask for?

I’m over being the reason, the target of their blame

Just because I struggle doesn’t mean I’m to blame

Treat me like I’m nothing, like I’m beneath the ground

But I’m still here, still fighting, trying to turn it around

Every night I promise I’ll do better today

But the scars of yesterday never fade away

They call me weak, they call me lost

Like I don’t count, like I’m a cost

I need some space to breathe now

Some peace from all the judgment

I only want to heal, to find my version

Of finally being free

I’m over being the reason, the target of their blame

Just because I struggle doesn’t mean I’m to blame

Treat me like I’m nothing, like I’m beneath the ground

But I’m still here, still fighting, trying to turn it around

Can’t you see, I am trying, to survive and to be kind

Hold on to hope, I’m worth more than what you think of me

Someday I’ll be stronger, I’ll break free from the pain

And maybe then, they’ll see I’m more than just the shame

Until that day, I’ll keep fighting through

Hoping I’ll somewhere find the truth
