Why Can't You Be Wrong?
My life is not your game.
You assumed I was guilty,
Only to be proven wrong.
But you won't admit it,
Not to me
Nor to yourself.
So now you search for something
Absolutely anything I may do wrong.
Yet I remain vigilant with every move.
I stay obsessed with being careful,
Watch and be proven wrong again.
Pressure builds against you.
Now you move,
Interfering with my mental health treatment.
Speaking unfounded accusations.
Forcing a choice between a therapist I trust,
Or be banned from my two weekly groups.
There is no decision to make.
I have been helped by only this person,
After many failed me.
I walked away from the groups.
What do you so dislike about me?
Continue this game you began,
And it will all be on you, true guilt.
Keep pushing to be right and I promise you
The entire thing will backfire.
