Let Down

Before I mean it to happen, my helpful words turn into a battle. You and the world on your side, me on the other. Hey, aren’t we supposed to love each other? Everything I say flies over your head. It’s one ear out the other. While tears drip down my cheeks. Bitter tears because I know it’s my fault. It is my fault for sticking my head into your business. Not to mention embarrassing you all the time with my breakdowns. I wish I could stop them from happening. But I can’t. I just can’t. I’m always such a let down.
