Anger builds over time,
Too young to know why;
Not willing to listen,
Does not care to try.
Wanting only their way,
Who needs useless rules;
Defiance comes easy,
Who is really the fool.
No one understands,
Closed minds and ears;
Ever shaking their fists,
Simply causing more fear.
No where to run,
Never making a plan;
Rage now takes over,
Flames fueled by the fan.
Into their sanctuary,
With a slam of the door;
Kicking over a table,
Trophies smash to the floor.
Throwing in the CD,
Louder and louder it plays;
The music takes over,
Mind now in a haze.
Reaching under the mattress,
The bottle still there;
Pills fill up the mouth,
Let them come if they dare.
The room is now still,
Just the sound of the song;
Another child has been lost,
What could have gone wrong?
Oh, this is sad. And it’s been this way since the dawn of time with humans. We will always find a way to self destruct when the chemistry in our minds gets whacked for too long a period.
I think the teenaged angst and the parental discouragement is easily felt through the words here.
Thanks so much. It is certainly a tragedy that is actually does happen like this sometimes.
love it,
easy flow,
many wisdom of truth.
young folks are easier to get upset,
bless all.
Happy Rally.

This powerful and utterly heart-breaking. Your writing has such a wonderful flow and grace
Thank you so much for the kind words.
You’ve given us a beautiful picture of just how hard it is for human feeling to deal with such a situation. You’ve created it in poetry really beautifully. Thanks for sharing this! Cindy
Thank you Cindy. I just wish it didn’t really happen in life. Sad. Thanks again.
Who ever first coined the phrase “better living through chemistry” never imagined this as a possibility. Very heartfelt and on the money with the times.
Thank you so much.
Self destruction is why we should get to children early before they formed an option.
strongly expressed and written
Thank you. I will certainly check out your entry.
Hmm..very true!
Sometimes it takes time and sometimes even time fails..may be it’s the way that has meant to be..
Intriguing!

Thank you Alcina. Sometimes they just get lost in the shuffle of life. I will certainly read your entry as well. ๐
I didn’t expect the ending … it’s hard-hitting and so tragic. The ending gives even more meaning to everything you’ve said before it. A great write, thank you for sharing ๐
Thanks so much. I appreciate your nice words. ๐
“Just the sound of the song” – chilling. A reminder, difficult to read, of what happens when we don’t address the anger and the hurt beneath it.
