We blame others for the problems That we create for ourselves Too scared to look inward for the fear Of seeing what we see in them Anger Hurt The hidden guilt manifests Neurotic symptoms appear as we hide from the truth A pattern forms and becomes rule Our lives become a host to the parasite Of actions caused by our denial of responsibility Tonight's nightmare is tomorrow's reality You look for betterness in everything you see But poison all hopes of what might be Rewards of compulsion that only satisfy The mental cancer that infects Those who deny What the self reflects Look inside and find the strength To face reality without fear Look to yourself and you will see The evidence is clear
