Scapegoat

Can you accept your flaws,
Problems, and
Shortcomings?
Or do you blame another
For everything wrong?
Do you deflect
The consequences
Of your actions
And pass pain
On to the innocent?
You sacrifice a scapegoat
To appease your suffering

We all have problems,
Troubles, flaws
But we each have to
Stand up and bear
Our mistakes,
Our shortcoming
To retain clear conscience
