They demand money from their parent.
They get arrested for assaulting their parent.
They are warned and released.
They get verbal abuse from the parent’s partner.
They get bullied in school because they struggle.
They take drugs to get through.
They physically abuse their parent for money.
They get arrested for assault.
They get are released.
They get bullied again.
They take drugs again to get through.
The cycle repeats.
They demand drug money.
They get a juvenile sentence.
They are released again.
The bullying is more frequent.
They take other drugs to get through.
The cycle repeats.
The violence is more frequent.
The bullying is uncontrollable.
They take more drugs to numb the emotions.
Arrested,
Released,
Bullied,
Drugged.
Arrested,
Released,
Bullied,
Drugged,
Gone.

- Comment from author about the poem: FICTIONAL; I wrote this with an unspecified character in mind, and this character is very badly damaged. I was originally going to give the character an assigned gender as male/female, but I decided to make the poem androgynous as anyone can get into situations like this. This character is abusive and gets abused, and it begins to turn into a viscous cycle until it suddenly stops.

Well written and expressed Great write
Thank you x
Welcome
That is so true...
The sad truth of our society and it is hard to blame one of the parts.
It is the system that ruins all from the beginning.
A mother can't stay with the child more than 3 month.
The connection gets lost from early childhood.
The kids grow somehow separated from their parents even living in the same house.
Drugs get into schools very easy.
Mass media show all the BS and out kids can see it.
Sad, but true.
Your poem it's 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much! I've seen people go down this path and obviously, we cant make their choices for them, and the hardest thing to accept is not being able to help x
