- Constantly Scared -


                                An unhealthy focus in life
                                No comedy - a tragedy
                                A home with alcohol and drugs
                                Withdrawal symptoms - 
                                from heaven to hell

                                Severe and painful neglect
                                No stability in everyday life
                                - seen through the eyes of a 6-aged
                                Who must bear the heavy burden
                                throughout his upbringing

Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 8/2/2025 5:25:00 PM a bit of sadness washed over me as I read your words. What a tough life for a 6-year old. I taught for most of my life and was always concerned for those students who I knew were burdened like this young man. A captivating and engaging read. Have a pleasant evening, hugs, Sara

Paula Goldsmith Date: 8/2/2025 2:13:00 PM What a powerful write and picture you have here. So very sad for many kids. "Good Luck" if for a contest. Hugs... Have a blessed day writing away.........
Deb M Date: 8/2/2025 12:42:00 PM Sad but true in so many cases Sunshine....childhood should be a safe , happy,secure, fun and loved time but for many kids it horrendous, frightening and confusing....incredibly unfair and heart wrenching! Debx
