Poem:

You put us in danger
Though you blamed each other
he then owned up
One intoxicated
Others swinging from curtains
Found “in a squalid house, in a filthy state”
Alcohol this, alcohol that
What about us???

We just wanted to be loved
Fed and bathed
What about a loving home
What about “i love you”
Or even just a hug

Was it easier to not be sober
You only cared about alcohol
Didnt you learn the first time
The arguing, the smells
Nothing was clean
Not the house, not even us

“20 week suspended sentences”
In hope to just “look to the future”
You couldnt even do that
You really did *** us over
“Serious neglect” still u didnt care
You didnt want 7 kids
You just wanted alcohol

@River Your poems are so profound, it's a great way for an emotional outlet and also really informative

You're poem is so powerful and moving - you've really got a gift for it, and like lunarcat522 said, what a great way to channel negative experiences into something creative

Sending lots of hugs

@River This is quite an emotional poem, but you’ve articulated yourself so well! It must’ve brought up some emotions whilst writing it, I just wanted to check in and see how you’re doing?

@River I’m glad to hear you’re okay! Try not to let the stress overwhelm you and give yourself the opportunity to have some down time when things get too much.
