~*Scapegoat*~

Trapped in this hellhole,
where nothing goes right.
The scapegoat for everyone's problems,
I can't escape from their sight.
If something goes wrong,
you might as well look my way.
Of course it's my fault,
what else can I say?
It's my fault you're so stressed,
and my fault when you're sad.
And when you shout and scream at me,
it's my fault that you're mad.
Just take your burdens
and throw them ontop of me.
There's already so many there,
What's another two or three?
Nothing has to be your fault,
as long as I'm alive.
I'm the human scapegoat-Just for you,
for as long as I survive.
Got more troubles?
Give them to me,
they'll fit with the others just fine.
But the real dilemma
does not come up,
until I have to deal with mine.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Awesome. I liked this alot, I totally know how this feels. The whole world has to come crashing down on top of you at once.And usually in my case, it stays there. Great job, I hope things go better for you

Great job on the poem. I really liked it. You are a very talented writer. I always look forward to your poems.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I think you should stay away from people like that.  Though I'm afraid that it my be a family member that you're talking about.

I'm so sorry for doubting you Kit ... please forgive me!!!!
