Poor Childhood 2011
Joseph Mark Carbonell 1994 (Oregon)
No food in the cupboards grumbling stomachs. Headaches from lack of nourishment. Money disappeared on drug addiction as the children suffer from lack of nutrition.
Neglect no mother to care, she's in the back smoking crack. As the house grows dirtier your future looks blurrier.
Resentment grows in your heart wishing strike out at any fool messing with you, fights start over nothing as you release your suppressed emotion uncontrolled revelations of what have you have done.
Corruption of your innocence as you steal out of necessity to feed those who can not self sustain themselves successfully as you lose yourself mentally.
