My family
Growing up, I regret some things
My family torn to pieces
My mind lost to a hell below
My heart crushed beyond repair
A failure that I'll always know
My sister,I couldn't protect
My mother, I couldn't bring hope
My father, I couldn't get close
My life, I couldn't find meaning
My nightmare, it broke me the most
My journey, an unseen end
My destiny, I never could reach
My choice, was always so wrong
My path, I'm always alone
My story, a sad little song
I'm sorry that I didn't see
I'm sorry that I couldn't change
I'm sorry for all that I've done
I'm sorry for bringing you pain
I'm sorry for being an unhelpful son
My family torn to pieces
My mind lost to a hell below
My heart crushed beyond repair
A failure that I'll always know
My sister,I couldn't protect
My mother, I couldn't bring hope
My father, I couldn't get close
My life, I couldn't find meaning
My nightmare, it broke me the most
My journey, an unseen end
My destiny, I never could reach
My choice, was always so wrong
My path, I'm always alone
My story, a sad little song
I'm sorry that I didn't see
I'm sorry that I couldn't change
I'm sorry for all that I've done
I'm sorry for bringing you pain
I'm sorry for being an unhelpful son

Author's Note
This isn't a perfect poem but it's honest. My family is a mess and I just needed it on a page or just off my mind. I have always disappointed my family and my dad isn't really a part of it. My sister hates me. My mother is broken both mentally and physically. I don't know what to do.

You reach out to anyone you can...Jordan
If you know you need help.... please
Let someone help you.
There is someone out there to talk to!!!
I'm not saying you need this contact because you're a danger to yourself... but they CAN give you contact information on who you can talk with....
I might be overreacting... but I don't ever want to not try... you too!
Sorry if I'm off base...
Be well
Take care of yourself!

I'm not suicidal. I'm just depressed. I am the only one who has this idea of our family. Everyone else hides from it. It is hard sometimes

I figured, or hoped... I was just giving you an option to call, they can direct you to resources to help with your depression... I was just worried.
It's extremely hard, you're correct. There's bravery in talking openly and also an outlet for the pain, in writing.
I was just wanting you to hear a voice, if you needed one
Take care

There's people to talk to. Weare here to listen if you want to. Keep on writing it does help.

You obviously love your family, and that's something. What you feel as their disappointment might just be them dealing with their own struggles.
As the others have said, we are here - you're not alone. Keep writing and talking, and don't give up.

I've always thought that writing with honesty and from the heart always has a profound effect not just for yourself for your readers. It allows us to reflect and perhaps gives some hope for the future by analyzing the past.
Hope all is well.
Hope all is well.
