A Letter To the Parents I Let Down
My biggest regret-
Was something that was happening yet.
As I faced off with unreality.
There was the truth of causality.
It was hard to recover.
As there was a reality to uncover.
That I had given up hope of independence.
And that now there is a larger fence.
Between me and the pain I should have willed myself to endure.
For at least a little longer, maybe I could overcome and be cured.
But instead I failed my final chance.
To face the odds, it was a dance.
I’m sorry to all the families.
That had stored hope in me.
For their own children.
But now we suffer in this hopeless cauldron.
