Escape Goat

I know I’ve done wrong.
I tried hard to always be strong.
Feverishly I tried to be
something I’m not.
Snares were set where
there in I got caught.
Regret, guilt, and remorse
pave the course.
To always feel not good enough
is an understatement.
Something for which toward
I have a lot of resentment.
Since I can’t remember
I’ve been judged and ridiculed.
By many put upon opinions
I was fooled.
Most times I’m an escape goat.
Accusations flung go
straight for the throat.
I take responsibility for my half.
Sometimes what people blame me for
makes me laugh.
I didn’t realize I have such great power.
They must think I rule from a golden
tower.
They don’t want to understand who I am.
They want my mouth to be closed
tight as a clam.
A shit eating grin is all they want to see
with a sign on my head written
“I’m guilty” plea.
Labeled and categorized as bi-polar
completes their needs
for pinning on me their short comings
and unworthy deeds.
“Oh no, that wasn’t what happened” they say.
“It wasn’t at all that way.”
“You’re twisting my words and playing a mind game.”
Their words always end up meaning the same.
The un-doubting conclusion is that I’m to blame.
Yes, yes I know all too well the things I say
I shouldn’t tell.
Secrets, secrets exposed by my own tongue
and the word "delusional" my way
has been slung.
Well, I’m still here.
Keeping secrets is no longer my fear.
I know a lot more than you’ll ever admit.
You’re either all sugar or shit.
Of coarse I’m the one who
got it all mixed up, right?
I’m very difficult and always start a fight.
It couldn’t be anything you do.
It must be very convenient being you.
