A Lost Child

Kids.. they are my passion and joy.

Today, I totally lost it. I broke down while lecturing a kid.
Does he understand? Felt so helpless.. seeing him going down to the pits.
He is a talent, everything a parent could dream of.. until dad passed away..

He changed, took a turn for the worse...

After months of ignoring.. scolding.. counselling..
I burst!

I scolded him, asked him why?

How could I help you?

Can you confide in me?

Can I be your friend?

I couldn't bring myself to speak to him. There was nothing I could do to help.

Who'd see those tears?
