Analysis of A life turned around



All he ever wanted, was a family life where he could thrive
A small little boy ,needing mommy and daddy ,had to learn all alone to survive.
A mother's resentment that damaged and hurt ,
Pools of loneliness so deep he could drown.
Causing damage so deep he could never be fixed ,and so lost he could never be found.
Imagine a child so lonely and sad, with that deep seeded need hes denied.
Made you wonder why he was treated so bad
And made fun of and bullied when he cried.
He acheived adolescence with no self esteem.
Not encouraged for anything good.
It seems that his future was iffy at best.
For he was unable to grow like he should.
In time he was labeled a problem.
He was cloaked in a blanket of shame.
Because noone beleived that anything good could have anything to do with his name.
Adulthood became problematic.
Being a convict was all that he knew.
His poor life was so institutionslized,so his criminal records just grew.
His parents ignored all they did to this boy,never caring that they were to blame.
Because they were the ones who were really at fault,without a single feeling of shame.
For so long he dreamed he would show them.
Trying so hard to prove he was good. He found education behind prison bars, acheiving all the best grades that he could.
The convict he was ,is a thing of the past.
Living the life that hed never have dreamed
He showed them all that his life was worth living.
And it wasnt that hard to acheive.
Today that misunderstood convict
Has a good wife and kids of his own.
He makes it a point to show them he loves them.
Giving them love that he never was shown
