Unfinished (Relationship)

I don't see myself the way I was.
Young, naive, and full of trust.
I went through things, painful and disappointing.
I see why my face is frowning.
An unsure future lies ahead of me.
What's to come of you and me?
I didn't know how much I'd endure.
Family and friends always doing me wrong,
emotional children going through phases
trying to adapt to this crazy way of life.
Never did I want this for my children.
They deserve so much better, 
so why haven't I given it to them?
Listening to the voice of unreasonable means,
too weak to stand up and fight.
I only sit and take the emotional beatings
not seeing another way.
I ask, what am I to do?
How can I fix this?
But I can't do it alone.
How much does a man have to be pushed
until he realizes he's already oever the edge?
this reckless way of life is no way to live.
Everyday, wondering what else could go wrong.

Your poem was beautiful and it said so much - I agree that is no way to live - In the past I was a man who put my families future at risk and I paid the price with many tears in prison - never again - blessings
