Was it me? – A Child’s View of Divorce

Watching this happen to a family is like having a hose in your hand while you are seperated from a house fire by a thick glass wall.  You feel helpless.

What have I done,

To change the day?,

Mommy and Daddy,

Gone separate ways,

Nothing but yelling,

They always fight,

I hear their voices,

Into the night,

Why did it happen?

How could it be?

They did not say it,

I know it’s me,

I was not listening,

Or bad in school,

They say I’m good,

I am a fool,

It’s not my fault,

They say it’s them,

Alone I am crying,

Once more again,

It is with Mommy,

I am going to stay,

With a new Daddy,

I am going to play,

My real Daddy,

May come again,

If Mommy lets him,

I don’t know when,

I know it’s my fault,

And they don’t know,

They will be happy,

If I just go.
