RAMBLINGS

Why must I be the scapegoat,
Shouldn't I get a chance
At proving myself,
Showing others they don't understand,
Judging me not on my worth,
But by the seeds others have sown,
The beanstalk that leads to hell,
Black clouds raining...

The thoughts return,
Depressing,
Should I have stopped
When there was still time,
Step aside and not care,
Did I need to jump in
When it wasn't my war,
Or was it?

Should one fight
When there's no sign of victory,
Every step so hard
That it seems easier to recede
Or postpone the moment,
Somehow...

I don't ask for much,
Judge me for what I am,
Not what others were,
One thread,
And I will weave my rope
I know my way out,
What has to be done,
Only if they let me be the one,
Do what I can,
Give me the hope i need
And I'll find my perfection
I promise...
