Life Cycle

age 14

He always hated the yelling,

The insults and the lies.

He always hated the drinking,

The vacant look in his father's eyes.

He escaped to his friends,

He escaped to his school,

He escaped his home life,

With that alcoholic fool.

But at the age of sixteen

He found the great need

To escape even further

To have his emotions freed.

So he reached the conclusion

That his daddy had found;

When the bottle is empty

The crying boy makes no sound.
