A Dying Channel

A parents famous words, "I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed".
It smells like a empty pit of despair.
It tastes like a bitter coffee trying to be something else.
It sounds like a distant scream for help.
It feels like no matter how hard you try, you'll still fail.
It looks like someone holding onto hope with one finger.
Trying to be someone that I'm not.
