The Road to Insanity

There are some things a person can't get out of their head.

I warned you to be careful

I told you a change was needed

You pretended to listen

You told me everything was okay

I believed you 

So we laughed and played games

While he hid in his room 

Wishing for anything to numb his pain 

You said he wasn't feeling well

While you were ignoring him 

And I wasn't around

He found a sheet

In that barn you sent him to

And he made a noose

If it weren't for his weight

And his poor knotting skills

Your son would be dead

But you won't listen to him

You refuse to be wrong

He begs you for help 

You tell him it's just teenage angst

So why did you tell him to keep quiet?

Why did he tell me in that same damn barn?

Maybe it's because it's not allowed

For something to be wrong

Emotionally driven and powerful message. Sometimes we brush away what is right in front of us. Too dense and afraid to deal with the pain laid at our feet. Very thought provoking.
