5 Minutes of Hope

It’s not my fault — I’m not to blame.

I didn’t do it — it was what’s his name.

Yes, I blame the parents, or I blame the kid.

I must blame SOMEBODY for what I did.

I point the finger to accuse someone.

I claim NO responsibility for what I’ve done.

Then a light turns on and I think about it.

The weight is lifting, then I shout it:

GUILTY! GUILTY!

Yup, that’s me!

When I OWNED it and ADMITTED it,

it set me free!
