Responsible

Like a child crying in the corner;
My spirit in the corners of my mind,
Howls from all the tears and disorder,
Answers to this guilt I cannot find.

Stitching up tears in my appearance
And cleansing my blood-stained emotions,
Torn and blooded through actions I've not known
And no faults of my own.

If action is to blame
Then maybe I'm mistaken
For all the actions I've forsaken
Through fear, was not my aim.

Anger fills my soul
As a search for closure
Only leads to exposure
And deepens my hole.

I am another woman,
It's my affinity,
I intend not to smother
With my femininity
Only to lose another.

Too responsible,
Not responsible enough,
I'm not quite sure,
Responsibilities regardless,
I'm a liability to myself
Yet the greatest asset to my wealth.
