All right, you asked, So now I’ll tell, I plan on living life Real well. But don’t we all? And thus I fear... So I’ll make this answer Much more clear. I’ll drop from school In a bit Get a job, and, well… That’s it. Oh! But I plan to Start on drugs. I’ll lose my friends And hang with thugs. And then I’ll just Get some dough From unrealistic Family foe. I’ll have a baby Raise him well In the great lifestyle Of my new hell. Did I mention I’d forever suffer From brain damage ‘Cause of snuffer? And Oh, I’ll die Before too long, Helplessly trying To change my wrongs. So there you have it, Great display Of life for me… The only way! (completely fake. Its the way I've seen too many, and some close to me, live. But I can never give a completely straight answer!) - And so it was that time stood still - |

Alyssa, Smiling here, though not a laughing matter. You could not do that if you wanted. But, sadly so many kids do just that...it is heartbreaking..... I've also seen them come out of it and have a productive life....you captured well what does happen to many... Hugs and love, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Alyssa, I would have known it was fake, even if you hadn't told us. From your poetry and replies, I can tell that you aren't like that. but, if I hadn't got to know you some on here, I would have wondered if it was from your personal experiences, because you wrote of it very well. Thank you for sharing your poem...  "Love makes the world go around" |

Actually, you could go three quarters of the way down the list and be following my sisters life. No, not a laughing matter at all. And your right I couldn't if I tried, which is comforting in its own way. Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

And thank you both for thinking so highly of me! I'll have to get back to you Pat on all the college stuff. First I'll make the next five seconds... And then the next...  Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

you handled this sarcastic slant like a pro. it is a good way to deal with such an issue. it takes a good writer to do it well, tounge in cheek, and still get the impact of the message across. good job |

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh Alyssa, this is son very sad, sweet friend, I have many around me who live like this and never seek help, or at least no one sympathizes with them! (sadn sigh) There's a mom two blocks up from me who gives pit to their kids and got arrested recently and they have no dad so now they be put up for orphanage! My prayers and angel hugs are out to the all, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Alyssa, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Noah, its so sad to hear about that, and knowing and seeing so many other cases so similar. And its ~strange~ knowing I could have taken my life in that direction too. But I have been blessed, and I can only offer a hand and prayer out to those others.. and sometimes a good thump does some good. Thanks much for your reply Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |
