It's your fault
You didn't do your math homework yesterday.
It's Your fault You did finish it today.
It's Your fault that averages out to 50%.
You earned it.
You will get to live with it.

It's Your fault
You didn't drive carefully.
It's Your fault You didn't drink and drive.
It's your fault You caused that wreck,
or avoided it.
You did that.
You will hopefully get to live with it.

What matters
is what You do about it next. 
You will own that. 
You will get to live with it.

It will be Your fault...

that You tried to do better,
so remember the good You did,
let someone else
remember Your faults.

Take responsibility for your part of the mess.
And your part of the successes.
Own it.
You aren't responsible for your childhood, but you are responsible for trying to heal from it.
For not passing it on to the next generation.
