It's someome eles's fault - Unproductive blame



It’s someone else’s fault
(0806120933-0946,0906120723-)

It is obvious that my misery
is someone else’s fault.
So far I have always
been able to find someone
who has made
my life miserable.
I have little to do with it.
If this and that had not happened
then I would do much better today.
I have become
the world record holder
in pointing fingers.
But what good does that do for me?
I’m still sitting around in the same dirt
and the other person
has a good life.
It took a long time
before I realized
that blaming others
is neither helpful
nor makes me happy.
After all it is me
who is wallowing in the dirt
and wastes my time with self-pity
instead of something productive.
It is me
who cannot let go
and doesn’t want to forgive.
It is me
who blames others
for my own wrongdoings
and by that keeps walking around
in the same circle.
It is me
who does not want to take on
any responsibility.
It is me
who constantly justifies
my own behavior
and does not want to learn
anything from it.
It is me
who remains furious
about the things in the past
and by that constantly feed
my inner fury.
It is obvious that my misery
is my own fault.
