Can you please tell me what you think of the poem? I'm no poet, but it was just a way to get this terrible reality on paper.



I have a 5 year old neice who is currently being raised by coke addicts. They used to hide it, but I found out they're doing it in front of her (she described it to me, but she had no idea what it was. I told her it was old people's medicine).

I'm only 15, and my parents want to just mind their own business. So I wrote a song for her. I was under the influence of hydrocodone when doing this.

Look in the mirror,
do you see a little girl? Listen and hear her,
watching her parents snort lines,
so young she can't even tell time,
do you know a little girl who's only place in the world
is to sit back and not understand,
not being able to comprehend,
That girl needs you to stop,
Daddy bringing her furniture to the pawn shop,
just for another fix,
Turning his 5 year old daughter into a coke addict.


It's really talking to my aunt, who was also raised by a coke addict, except her parents were much worse (they beat her, not just spanking, but flat out punching a 7 year old girl for not being quiet). Also to my uncle, but not some lines, like the first one. It's saying, look what happened to you. Don't do it to your daughter.

And the thing about the furniture is true. He tried to sell the kid's dresser at a pawnshop, but got turned down. Asshole just left her clothes in a big pile in the room, dragged the dresser out and left it in ther street when he couldn't sell it.

Technically, she's not a neice, but she calls me Uncle. She's really like one of my third cousins (my mom's cousin's kid.) But we're pretty much uncle and neice.
 
ya man u got alot of heart for a 15 year old.but i dont see a ?.but my advice would be to talk to the parents and tel them how u feel about how they are raising their child.then i would call child services if they dont change their ways.no 5 year old should c their parents doing coke.there pretty much raising a coke head cuz thats what she will wind up being.
 
very moving and very sad. are you able to be a suporting figure to her? are yuop close with your family?
 
damn very sad man... I'm sorry that youre niece has to be in that kind of environment.. It's good that you have sympathy for her.. Just try to be a good influence on her life and try to put as much happiness as you can in it because even if she does end up going down a bad path, she will have the happiness of you supporting her in her memory.

as for the poem, it doesn't matter that you aren't a poet, writing poetry takes heart. very good stuff
 
Between ages 7-14 my parents were on a lot of meth. I remember being so happy that my dad told me he quit, and we were on a family camping trip. I will never, EVER forget laying in my hammock attached to his tent listening to him blast lines with a bunch of twenty year olds. At the time I didn't say anything... I just lay there.

That poem really speaks to me, friend. :(

Tell them how you feel. If they don't change, child services. Better make waves then let that childs life be ruined.

My family is currently talking with the parents and trying to get them to let her live with us. They're not cooperating, but my family is thinking of bribing them with money.

Right now, as things are getting worked out, I try to keep an eye on her. I pick her up from school, make sure she gets 3 meals a day by taking her to my house and making her food. Her parents sometimes have no food in the fridge. If they do it's usually alcohol, bread and sometimes leftover takeout food. She sometimes doesn't eat for the entire day.
I also try and keep her away from them as much as possible. I bring her to my house, if they let me. Sometimes they just go crazy and don't let anyone help her.

If the bribe doesn't work, we're going to CPS. We have photos of the living conditions, photos of the drugs. She's also pretty skinny, and she's definitely not getting proper medical attention. My parents took her to the doctor two weeks ago, and the doctor said that she was underweight, and that any other doctor would have said something if they had seen her. It shouldn't be too hard, since both of them have arrest records (drugs and domestic violence).
