Unwarranted

How can you lie to me

And justify it by blaming me

You were just trying to avoid

Your preconceived negative response

Unwarranted, undeserved

I supported you, encouraged you

Recognized your efforts

Forgave your flaws

I was the understanding one

That was my role

My gift to you

 

You are taking that away

Recasting me to fit your needs

An explanation, not necessarily true

Given to make your actions and decisions

Appear more acceptable

Or less offensive

A false reason

That enables you to do what you want

Or avoid something you don’t
