I go home realising now id made a big mistake, knowing theres nothing i can do about it.
I stand next to my mom, shes crying, wailing, but its not the type of crying you normally hear, she sounds in pain, shes lost her only child, my father stands over her, trying to comfort her but going through the same emotional turmoil, just trying to be strong for my mom but i can see into his soul, his heart is broken and theres a black void where i once belonged. The man who i always saw as a towering strength reduced to a wreck. I see now they had other problems, problems at work, bills to pay, a house to run and a problem child to bring up, they were trying to teach me dicipline and responsibility that would have made me a better person.
They lived to provide for me, to make me a better person and to give me the life they never had, and i threw it all away, i didnt just destroy my life - i destroyed theirs too, i didnt realise what an impact this would make.
