I'm Sorry

October 28, 2017

Mom, Dad.

Did you even notice?

I started lashing out,

dropping out of activities,

grades began dropping.

Mom, Dad.

Couldn’t you see?

I was falling apart.

Losing motivation,

losing hope.

Mom, Dad.

You’re losing me.

The light of your life

has grown so dark,

quickly fading.

Mom, Dad.

I’m sorry.

I know you’re

disappointed.

So am I.
