[hometext] => I am so sorry.
[bodytext] => How long has there been that disappointment in my mum’s eyes? It’s as if she sees through every single one of the lies, Yet they keep coming no matter what I do If only this were as simple as the straight path the crow flew. Before all this I felt like I was invincible Representing the nation in sport, never leaving the tracks But now that everyone has left, im left looking at their backs And im left alone with this depthless pit, That grows and boils till I strike out and hit. But when did I change and become so hateful? And since when did I lose everything to which I was faithful? It’s so hard growing up in today’s ways, I envy those who remain hard backed and walk through unfazed. I remember getting the letter home explaining to me; How I’d made the Australian squad, and all I was meant to be, Those endless hours spent training, The sweat, the blood, the tears And to give it away at the end, to embrace a life of everyone’s fears The alcohol came first like a sparkling cure, A cure for a slight depression, so I took the lure But the spiral it led me on was too short, too fast, And my vessel was left to sink, underneath my broken mast. Drugs took a while longer but sure they came And for what, for ***** sake, a few hours fame? The after effects were worse than ever And a boy once so light and keen died, As his brain took in the negative words of ‘never’ I write these words in the memories of my mate Who isn’t here today by the path of his fate, As you read his story please take it in This boy had everything before he chucked it in the bin. He was the smartest at our school by far, His energy and loyalties were always far above the bar Before this ***** came and ruined his entire being Watching him without anything to do It was like one side of him was fleeing From the very person he was And all because He was so depressed The crimes came next, as he rose in the gang He turned on all of us, all his old friends, We would’ve hated him if he wasn’t so helpless He was a superstar that was captured in a mess. It seems one night our old friend had seen enough, Rest in peace brother, the way you left was way too rough, The way you were found lying there, The smell of the musty, gory air, Why did you take that gun and press it to your head, What were your last thoughts as you crumbled and bled? Sometimes all it takes is a bit of support, Im sorry, fallen brother whom I should have caught, We all let you down just as much as you did on your own, We never should have let you walk so alone… I am so sorry.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
