Solemn promises
Flawless polished sleek words
Escaping poet
*
Small expectant child
Leaning to distrust its world
Drifting despairing
*
Parents full of doubt
Encircling their problems
That non be resolved
*
Coping skills?
A life full of misery
Ability none
*
Escape denied them
Only option. Addiction
Another life lost
