lies + alibies.

would it be better, do you think,
if my troubles were not my own?

if i could carry this weight,
myself.
i was never one to judge,
but you did ask me for the truth.

i just did as i was told - straight up.
don't hate me for your
shortcomings.
don't blame the others.

it wasn't anyone else
who put you in your place,
there was no fortune teller
who sent you on your way.

do not blame the others,
you did this yourself.
