Failure

I watch helplessly as he destroys himself
a little each day

I sadly listen as people tell me his wrong
doing

I tell my mom that he needs help,
but she is wordless

I glare at him as he takes his anger out
on his family

I want to scream at him and tell
him the truth,

But he’s already too deep; I can’t pull
him out

I fail him
