About me:
I began writing the words of young women and men’s silent cries four years-, ago. Some of them had nurturing and loving parents—others didn’t. Some of them came from broken homes. Others wished they weren’t born. Many were lonely, but not alone in the world of lonely.

Innocent children
Deprived of affection
Longing for attention
Lost to addictions
Sinking
Into depression
Victims living
Lives to reckon
The beginning,
Of their ending
................................"Missing Their Teens"
Born deprived
Compassion denied
Poorly treated
Used and defeated
Attending
To their siblings
While Mommy and Daddy serve
Time for their crime
