No, not my fault, It’s them, can you not see? Demotivating naysayers Discouraged and forever dragged me down Circumstances were never mine Help was scarce, guidance none I lost, blame won.

My stars were irked, Planets moved retrograde, Astral bodies and earthly beings Teamed up for my downfall, I blamed them all All, except those behind the scenes Sketching my destiny, Unknown to me.

When truth, at last  Dawned, crystal clear I saw The true culprit lurked deep within Doubts, thoughts conjured by my negative mind, Bound me with strings and clipped my wings Slyly and silently  Plotted my fall.
