Been sitting in this room, wondering where I went wrong,
These walls caving in, and I'm struggling to breathe,
How did I go from being a good kid,
To disappointing my family so much?
I used to be the child with dreams in my eyes,
A heart full of hope, ready to touch the skies,
But somewhere along the way, I lost my way,
Caught in a whirlwind of mistakes, led astray.
I remember the days when laughter filled the air,
Innocence embraced me, without a single care,
But now, regret weighs heavy on my soul,
As I navigate this darkness, trying to regain control.
The choices I made, oh, how they haunt me now,
Like ghosts from the past, they refuse to allow,
Me to forget the pain I've caused, the tears I've shed,
Leaving my loved ones questioning where I tread.
I see disappointment etched upon their faces,
A reflection of my own self, lost in empty spaces,
How did I let it come to this, I ask myself,
As I search for answers, trapped in this lonely cell.
But in this room, amidst the chaos and despair,
I find solace in the silence, a moment to repair,
To gather the shattered pieces of my broken heart and dreams,
And stitch them together with resilience, it seems.
For I am not defined by the mistakes I've made,
Nor the disappointments that have left me frayed,
I am a warrior, a fighter, ready to rise,
From the ashes of my past, where my spirit lies.
So, I'll rise from this room, with newfound strength,
Embracing the journey, no matter the length,
I'll rebuild the bridges I've burned to the ground,
And prove to my friends and family, love can still be found.
Though the road may be long, and the battles tough,
I'll reclaim my worth, and show them I've had enough,
Enough of the darkness that once consumed my soul,
It's time to rewrite my story, and take back control.
So, here I stand, ready to face the dawn,
With hope in my heart, and resilience reborn,
No longer defined by the mistakes I've made,
I'll rise above the ashes, unafraid.
The Room Of Disappointment

Poet's note: When the day gets long and I'm all alone. Seeing the disappointment on my parents faces, because of all the mistakes I've made in the past. I go to my room and pour out my soul on a piece of paper, wishing to feel better and smile again. So I wrote this poem for my friends and family asking them where I went wrong? But I also wrote it to myself asking my self where I went wrong, because lately, I feel like I used to be a good kid but now I'm questioning every decision I make and I'm just tired. So to whom ever feels the same way and can relate with this poem, this is also for you!
