Blame – Written October 2006 (Aged 31)

Blame

do you know that no one blames you
not for what you believe,
with my open arms,
i appreciate your hurt
and you have no need to feel embarrassed
or even ashamed,
with my open arms,
i say there is nothing wrong in having to believe
or having to have a reason
that is human nature,
all of us at some point have to stop the bleeding
if you truly believe that he had autism
and that the children have autism
if that is what you truly believe
and if that is what you truly need
so that you can and manage the past
then with my open arms,
i have to let that pass
but you have to accept that you cannot impose that
on those around you,
because for others it does not feel well meant
and you have to learn about different lenses
that we all have unique life experience
