Lately I’ve been thinking-
That’s a dangerous thing to do.
Evaluating choices,
And the things that I’ve been through.

Asking, “Which way do I go-
Where do I head from here”?
And, “Can things really be as bad-
As they first appear?”

I know all the questions-
Not one answer can I find...
The one I do not wish to face
Keeps coming to my mind.

I think of bad decisions-
And the damage they have wrought-
A haunting voice within my heart-
“You know it’s all your fault!”

All my fault...the lives I’ve ruined-
All my fault, the harm I’ve done.
All my fault...nobody wants me-
All my fault… What I’ve become.

This sad refrain will haunt me-
Which my sinful actions bought..
I cannot escape that haunting voice-
“You fool! It’s all your fault!”
