My Poems

why

Divorce.
The end of a family.
When mom and dad can't live with each other.
But why.

Oh such tragedy.
That our tears are rolling on the floor.
But why.

Feeling like I'm on a tug-of-war.
Each side pulling harder.
I don't understand why.
My heart will bear the scar.
My silent screams getting louder.
Oh why.

Everyone can see what goes on around me.
But why can't they see its happening to me.
As time goes by it gets easier.
I get used to the new way of things.
But I still don't understand why.
Life gets a little crazier.

Going between doesn't always sting.
I've slowly stopped asking why.
I have begun to find my smile.
And sing a new song.
Why oh why.
