The Blame Game
It seems like so often 
 we play the blame game.
 It’s when we blame someone else
 for outcomes, 
 rather then take responsibility
 for ourselves and our own actions.
 Like when my students want to blame me
 because they did not do their homework
 or engage in our discussions.
 Or when I want to blame others
 because I did not work my business
 to the capacity I should have.
 When I hear myself wanting
 to blame others, 
 I stop and own my actions
 or inactions and take responsibility.
 The buck stops with me 
 as the saying goes. 
 I am the one responsible
 for what I choose to do 
 or not do with my life.
 The blame game has 
 no more room in my life.
