Collateral Damage

Forgive me for what I have been

I've lost all my control

I don't know where my mind has gone

or the last time I felt whole

Forgive me for hurting you,

while I tried to hurt myself

I forgot about the ones I loved,

while I put my thoughts on a shelf

Forgive me, I know I was wrong

I wasn't me at all

I couldn't see while my pain was so big

that I made everyone else so small

Great job! Pleasant read and a brisk reminder of what can happen when we venture down the rabbit hole.

As far as musicality goes (if I may be so bold), Stanza 2 Line 1 needs one more syllable to be properly tuned.
As far as the poem goes......WOW!! Well done!

Thank you! I'll see if I can adjust it.
