Judging Herself Poem by Randy McClave

I blame all my problems on you
And on everything in my life that has gone wrong,
And when you hear my saddened, "boo hoo"
I am making someone else sad, and myself strong.
I want them all to get the curse,
That makes them always feel the worse.

My life is a mess and it's not because of me
But, because of everyone that I have known and met,
I can point them all out quiet simply
Everyone that I have known has given me pain and regret.
Whenever I have made or created an error,
It is always because of them, that there is a terror.

I smoke and I drink because of them
I also lie and cheat and steal because of them as well,
They have all put my life in bedlam
It is always because of them that I've tripped and fell.
And all the bad things that I have said and done,
It was all because of their pleasure, and their fun.

You are tearing my whole life all apart
I say that to all the men that I know and that I meet,
You are breaking my soul and now my heart
You are all just Devils in discreet.
My life is all screwed up and a total mess,
But, it's not because of me, but of my ex's I must confess.

Look at me I am the perfect person
It is everyone else that cheats and steals and will sin and lie,
They always cause my life to become worsen
In my eyes there is never a sty.
Then she thought and thought and then she cried a tear,
As she pitifully recognized herself in her bedroom mirror.
