Blame & Guilt

What if they don't want me?
I won't be welcome there
Stanley doesn't even know me
I'd just be in their hair
I guess i have nothing here
Now that Belle Reve is gone
I realize now the terrible truth
My sister is my only bond
Everyone has deserted me
Even my dead boyfriend
For some reason everyone leaves
I hurt them in the end
Now I'm kind of a nomad
Looking for a place to bunk
"Everything that i own
Is in that trunk"(Williams 41).
I feel like i have many secrets
And in a way i guess i do
I cringe at the thought of confession
Oh boy! If Stella ever knew
She would think i let down the family
That i filled our name with shame
But she's the one that deserted first
So she has to carry some blame
Maybe its just the guilt
That makes me so insecure
But i have no one to talk to now
I'll have to learn to endure
I know that Stanley's suspicious
But I'm not sure what about
I heard him say "I have a lawyer acquaintance
who will study these out"(Williams 44).
They're going to know eventually
And soon that time will come
But until they straight out confront me
I'm going to just play dumb.
