Culpability

It’s not my fault
But I still feel guilty
Even though
It’s not my responsibility
And nobody
Can hardly
Blame me
For someone else’s
Culpability
I was only
A little girl
And I still feel
Like a little girl
Because I still
Cannot defend myself
Cannot protect myself
Cannot collect myself
Years have passed me by
And I still want to cry
A tear
For each year
That I have lost
I am still recovering
The cost
Of being put to shame
When I was not to blame
My life won’t be the same
It doesn’t have to be the same
But I am still the same
Little girl
Stupid girl
