1. Blameless Ennui

My parents fight every day

They they blame it on me

I wish things could go back

To how they used to be



My brothers always instigate

Until we get into fights

I wish that time could go back

About a thousand nights



I watch with my jaded eyes

As my family comes undone

And I just want to shoot myself

With the nearest gun



Maybe my parents are right

Maybe I don't care anymore

If only things could go back

To how they were before



Before I saw them fight

Before I sat and cried

Before I took my life

Before I shot and died

this was during your suicide period? I like the poem, but I don't like the context, youll see that will be a recurring theme. I hate knowing that people I care about suffered...but good poem
