I am at a loss.

All my life is falling apart around me.

And I remain powerless over it all.

Unable to do anything.

But sit back and watch.

As it falls brick by brick.

Joint by joint.

One Is having surgery.

But doesn’t want me there.

One is having radiation.

But is to stubborn to ask for help.

One is on a horrible med.

But has no room for me in her life.

One is in the midst of emotional breakdown.

But puts up a front to me.

So I am left.

Not only to deal with my own.

On my own.

But to deal with theirs.

On my own.

Again I find myself.

Empty and alone.

Unable to help them.

Unable to help myself.

I am so sick.

Of feeling fucking useless.

I have become.

A waste of flesh.

A victim of my own fears.

A victim of my own label.
