I sit here
My phone not buzzing
My parents stomping
My heart is racing
No one to talk to
a judge at the front
The trial has
Gone on for a month
Secrets come forward
That were buried deep
Things such as illness
And things that will beat
Up the judge
How could this happen
Since i was a little girl
In the house that i napped in
But no one to talk to
For 14 long years
No one to come forward
And dry off my tears
When the judge asks me
Where i want to go
I say to my friend's house
Yet the judge just says no
I have to pick
A angry mother?
to runaway
A angry father?
I wouldn't stay
But here is my choice
I say here today
the truth i must hoist
That my life has been hell
Since i was born
But I'm sure
There are more worse to mourn
But the judge says
This is a court
Not a speech trial
This is divorce
