This one is short...but I think it says what it needs to..please tell me what you think...

This world around me is confusing
All the Time, I feel like I am Loosing
Parents making me do the choosing
My father stays up late at night drinking
While I just sit in my room, Thinking
My mother sits by and watches our family decay
I listen to all there shit, Everyday
I watch him waste his life away
I've seen his smile turn to tears
Watched his health fade over the years
My Love for him as a role-model disappears
I just want to be by his side, and help him through
My love for him as my father, Is painful but true
It's hard to love someone of his Kind
But I know I can do it in my Mind
My mother sees this, she's not blind
There are times when I dont think she cares
When There is a coldness in her stare
Should I keep my Pride or just Swallow?
I don't who's footsteps to follow
