Crucifiction in stone

OK so this is yet another contest of mine. I would like to have as great of a turn out as I did last time, and I would love to see some new writes. right now at this current time I am going through quit alot. I just turned 18 in january I have been kicked out of my house 4 times, we moved in with my grandmother to help take care of some elderly people in the home and her included and its been stressful I am watching as my mom and dad have changed completly as we moved into my grandmothers house. My parents that were once so caring and would do anything for me have now started drinking and when they drink it is just horrible. At this house I live in there are 11 people living here. so as you can tell I am a little stressed out. My aunt and uncle both are drug addcits and they walk all over my family, we help support their habbits and pay their rent and bills pretty much and help feed them, sometimes they even move in like one currently is now and the other is close to it. They are thievs and liars and yeah it is just driving me crazy. I try to talk to my parents about why they are drinking or because I am upset but they wont listen to me at all, or they say oh we will fix it or that won't happen and then it does. I am stressed myself. I just recently lost my full ride scholarship, I recieved my first public intox and its hard because I have no job and not too many places will hire me with a juvenille felony, they aren't supposed to find it but they do and I never get the job. I want so bad to get my life on track and I tell my mom or dad I want to move out or I want to have a place of my own and be more independant or that I want to go back to school and they just downgrade me and say no you wont do tha or you wont amount to anything pretty much. so right at this time I am just trying my best to deal with what I have, I guess that is all I can do. sorry for the sob story lol.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Your prompt is this picture above. It is a crucifiction in stone. I kind of feel like this now, like I am pinned up and unable to do anything about it and that may be this stone is permanent. I just feel like no matter how hard I try or how much I am in the right or doing good , I am put back up on this cross for all to ridicule and taunt pretty much.so basically I would like you to either pin me something about this picture above and or write me something as if you were in a situation similar to mine, may be tell me what you did to help yourself (not required though)+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++now onto the rules I know you all hate them but not too many.1. do not molest your shift key.2. nothing in the adult category (I really don't think it would apply here though.)3. you may enter more than once.4.please use spell check it is your friend(but as long as I understand it your okay. I am not to picky here everyone makes mistakes.)5. if you do enter a pre-write ,please  do not enter a poem that has already won alot of entries like say an entry that has won more than 3 or 4 tropheys I just dont like to see entries like that as I dont think it is fair and I try to be fair.6. have fun and be nice to all other entrants. thanks this is a no hate zone.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++well that is it for the rules but as far as poetry I tend to like my darker writes as opposed to those on the lighter side...I do prefer ryhme because it appeals to me more but free verse is fine too. I will comment on every entry by the end of the contest date. And another thing this contest may close early if I like what I see.well that is it for now. hope you enjoy and pen me something truly great.best of luck to you all in this contest and in the future.andi(redhanded)
