Not All Me

I wear their face on top of my face

I am the perfect target screen for your blindly-fueled rage.



I bear the brunt of your long-buried pain

I don't mind helping you out, but I want you to remember my name.



It's not all me

It's not all my fault

I may remind you

But I won't take it all on.



Past-riddled rage

I see the buttons I engage

With my dignity in place

I'm all too happy to assuage.



It's not all me

It's not all my fault

I may remind you

But I won't take it all on.



Lest I find my voice

Find the strength to stand up to you

Lest I state my limit and take on only what is mine to.



We are a team

I'm here to help mend and re-seam

All I trigger

Unknowingly a job I hold in high esteem.



It's not all me

It's not all my fault

I may remind you

But I won't take it all on.



It's not all me

It's not all my fault

I may remind you

But I won't take it all on

I'll take only some of it.
