Heal Inmates Inner Childs Poem by Christina Sunrise

Inner child was abused, lost and not heard
inmates are crying out now in crime doing the absurd.
Not knowing how to deal with conflict management
for they were never given a chance to learn—
Came from an abusive, controlling family
that’s a fact and easy to discern.
Most could not express emotions at best
start doing drugs with friends to be like the rest.
Treat inmates from the vantage point
that they can overcome
overcome bad experiences and where they are from.
Heal their inner child and have empathy towards them
treat them like they are your children.
