Am I to blame?

Is this technically all my fault?

am I to blame

For falling in love to fast

For loving unrepentantly and committing to you?

Because I wonder if in this world it is on me,

For being too soft,

For being too gentle,

For being too kind,

When the world does not deserve such gratuity.

When the world spins on its axis of only taking

So is it my fault that I got attached and showed my softness,

Is it my fault I couldn’t stop myself from being me?

Maybe I the one to blame then?

Should I have been harder,

Meaner,

Less willing?

But deep down I know I couldn’t be.

Im not built to be what the world wants me to be

I’m not built to be mean.

So I guess the blame probably does fall on me
