Hi QueenPheonix. This is a stellar example of how a poem can really bring awareness to issues like these that exist in society. The emotion in this poem is expertly conveyed, leaving the reader with a new understanding of this topic. Well done!

I commend your self awareness. My wife and I are working hard to break this cycle. Looking back on my childhood I realize now that my father who was emotionally and physically abused as a child was breaking that generational garbage back then as he never laid hands on me once. My mom had a more difficult time and she is still working on it with her therapist. I catch myself falling into her parenting style with my kids and it made me seek therapy myself. If you are committed to this task you can give the world such a gift by raising them in a more emotionally literate environment.

The poem is good, the subject of it is really important,
Tim

of overcoming those generational curses and cycles! Good for you! Well written!

This is a very narrative piece! The poem has a lot of 'I' which defined it as a personal experience. Personal pronouns make the text seem as though it is directly addressing the reader, making it more personal and more likely for the reader to respond.

The good new is, no matter how hard life seem to be; at the end of the tunnel our light shines forth.

Check on this line:

'Free at last as a hand was gave'
It would have been > Free at last as a hand was given'

I guess, you were trying to achieve a rhyme here.

Lively presentation.
