You've Opened My Eyes

Apparently I haven't been looking
into our move as well as I could have,
as well as I should have.
It's not that I didn't care,
I just didn't know.
I've never had to deal
with any of this before.
I've been blinded by my own misery
and have been ignorant.
I've been ignoring the reality
that is the safety of my family
but, I'm trying my best.
This is all new to me
and I really don't know
what I'm doing or even
where to begin.
All I know is that
we're better than this
and I want to get out
as soon as possible
before it gets even worse for us.
You've opened my eyes
to what I've been neglecting.
I feel so lost and alone,
trapped and isolated.
I feel miserable and disorganized.
This place depresses me so bad.
I feel like my
hopes, dreams, and aspirations
are crushed here.
My motivation and pure hatred
has caused me to become
cold and bitter.
I hate myself for my carelessness.
I hate myself for the pain
I've caused others.
