If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

2 poems·Since April 2018

I struggle with my mental health and the loss of my sister but writing has been the best outlet for me.

I reach out for you

But I know it is usless

You are gone

I wonder if you watch me

If you do what do you think

Are you proud of me?

I don't know how you could be

When I look at who I am 

All I see is dissapointment 

I dropped out of school

I let my depression rule my life

And on top of that I'm fat...

The worst of all?

I couldn't protect you

I know there's nothing I could have done,

But I'm your older brother

I was supposed to protect you

And... I failed

I am usless 

I don't even know why I live and you don't 

Why?
