Preschool Children and Ptsd

Before school,
Living in darkness,blood and filth.
Screaming and yelling, back and forth,
The parents do.

Then comes cutting, medications and
Like the seed that springs up other mental health
Problems rear their dark ugly head's.
And you live in denial and or perpetuate
This cycle again, this your pain must be passed
On to your children.

Such as evil seen and heard in the very voice
Overheard by other's but ignored.
And in the head's of the parents I can see at night
When I leave my head and enter the other's through my dreams.

Their dreams are ugly filled with joy,
Getting rid of their children by sending them to school.
And for some, tragedy starts and the mirror of their parents,
Shines forth and must be hidden in our jail's and prison's.
