An Emotional Teenager

The needle prickling begings of fear,
As punishment of things not done 
at their hands.
Mistaken for the belief that their past 
horrifying deeds should 
be held against them.
Intoxicated parents not caring what their offsrpings do,
Until the crime is brought before them 
then they are punished sevenfold by abuse and 
other dangerous means their intoxicated parents can think up.
It is held against them and sometimes its leads to sucicide,
unless the parents can gather the helpful resources 
they need to be  better parents.

OMG, Cheyenne, I can only promise you that it will get better. Life has its cornucopia waiting for you. These years, these life experiences are tough and sometimes overwhelming. Ride the storm. The rain clouds will disappear and the sun will shine upon you. Allan
