Doors, slam shut
Harsh words deeply cut
Mum & Dad are yelling
When will it stop, there is no telling
They assure me, it’s ok, they are just in a rut
Again, they are arguing about me
About who will take me and flee
I am so scared, wondering what I did
What is happening to my family, I’m just a kid?
Tears trickle down my face, my future I cannot see
What did I do to make them so mad?
Maybe when I broke my toy, it angered Dad
Or when I made a mess, making more work for mum
Our once happy home is now very glum
I wish they would make up, I would be so glad
My parents always taught me to be kind and caring
But they are not, as they are fighting and swearing
I just want us to be a happy family
I don’t want them to fight over me
There is enough of me for sharing
I love them equally
I don’t want to choose, that’s not fair on me
I want them both in my life
I don’t want there to be strife
We will always be family
