This is self explanatory.
Any explanation from me will be overkill.

Sitting on the sidelines

 

I’m sitting on the sidelines, looking in

Wishing I could help.

 

 

Trying not to make matters worse,

With being in the middle of it all.

 

 

Where I once stood before,

 

 

On the battle field,

Listening to the sounds of war.

 

 

Retreating to my room, where I can be

Music in my ears.

 

 

Eye’s shut so I can not see.

 

 

For hours I would sit,

Tensions running high.

 

 

Slowly emerging,

Careful where you step.

 

 

One false move could set it off.

 

 

Now I’m on the outside looking in.

I can hear from a distance.

 

 

Where I had once been.

 

 

Wishing I could help,

Wishing I could make it easier.

 

 

Sitting on the sidelines, is now my fate

 

 

No longer in the firing lines

Since this is posted in the family section, I make a bit of an assumption. It's best sometimes to stay on the sidelines.

I find your poem very compelling, Acire. There is such a helpless feeling when one cannot do anything about "fixing things" and yet such a yearning to be able to do so. Thank you for sharing. Welcome to AD. Love and best wishes to you,

Regis
