Whenever you needed me...
I tried.
Throughout your self-righteous existance...
I failed.

Did I complain?
Was I really that bad?

Your depressions,
Your angers,
Your tempestuous attitudes,
But still I tried.

Not one complaint,
Never a bad word.

I apologise for failing you,
I lament your choices,
But I was there,
Through good and bad,
Right and wrong...
I tried.

I'm sorry for failing you,
I act contrite for asking questions.

And now, as I sit alone,
My life slowly ebbing from my wrists,
Humanity circling out of existance,
I hope this is good enough for you,
For you see...
I succeeded.

"Our Father who art in Heaven... Hallowed be thy name..."

This is terrific.  

I feel as though I am who you write about in your poem. Tried but ultimately failed self - thank you.
