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.
