WHEN DAMAGE IS DONE

finally
i find my 16 year old
cuts herself
cutting out all the crap
iv'e been telling her father
you need to step up
i need his help to get her
where she needs to go

i am sickened
how all are low libido
input in a place my child is in
eight hours a day five days a week
keeping in contact with all who are responsible
to helping her make it the next four years
exciting and interesting
help when needed
i understand
my child is responsible for her
choices and actions
but i ask you
is that reason to push them in
a cage of looser
no one is a looser
they are troubled
speaking for my child
my personal experience
the logo
"no child left behind"
means nothing
too much trouble helping
the troubled
mental health issues
my daughter does not know
how to displace her anger

BUT I HAD ENOUGH
YESTERDAY WAS IT

there "is" a twelve week program
every Wednesday about a forty minutes
away this is where dad comes in
to drive her and
bring her home

i am disgusted

this was an option
never aware of it
this shows how insignificance
the lack of care to educate me of
the availability
a program she will be addressing all of the issues
at hand including drugs and alcohol and self mutilation
a direct result of not knowing how to displace
or defuse it
it turns out she just got her period
many persons do not understand this and
its affect on a woman's psyche
she as her sister who made me mimma
as i watch her as mom cleans up Her act
this the one my sixteen year old looked up to
and has picked up were the other left

when will mental illness
including a woman's menstrual
cycle

i know what i'm talking about
i i product of what is confirmed
a woman's cycle is a huge factor
