Blame

You may have been given a small window of time,

Perhaps the blame is not yours,

But why did you hold back,

You may not have know how you felt,

Perhaps the blame is time,

Still

Why did you hold back,

You may have felt odd about what he said,

Perhaps the blame is his,

But

You held back,

You

could have let go of fear,

You

could have opened your mouth,

He

inspired you to be brave,

You

held back,

Perhaps the blame is yours

and you carry the guilt.
