Who's To Blame?

by Monica Chaddick

I feel such great and terrible shame

When everyone acts as though I'm to blame

 

For everything that happens bad

It makes me very, very sad

 

Always, always I am wrong

It happens all the whole day long
 

The more I try and try to help

The more they gripe and scream and yelp

 

They whine that they have all these needs

But then my needs they fail to heed

 

I would just say, “To heck with you”

But if I don't help, then who?
 

Help is needed by me a times

But then they just complain and whine

 

I feel as though I have no choice

I also feel I have no voice
 

I am treated like a slave

I am expected to shut up and behave

 

They just want me to do as I'm told

To make comments or suggestions, too bold

 

They couldn't care less that I have needs, too

They just want me to shut up and do

 

I would just stop helping and then they would see

But that just is not someone I can be
 

I guess I will just have to deal

Hope one day they will see that my needs are real
