Responsibilities

Father,
I am sorry

for not scaling
the heights
of your expectations

I apologise;
for failing
to rise up
to your legacy

Dad;
please!!!

Forgive me,
for not
living up
to your dreams

I thought;
I was ready

I thought;
your teachings
were enough

but reality
has been
a constant
awakening

I don’t know
what to do

I just want to
disappear
from these responsibilities

to go somewhere
I could still
call you
for help

To go
to a place
where breathing
is easy
