Hidden Behind a Broken Smile

Intro

     I stare up at the sealing, day dreaming about who knows what. I'm laying on my nana's (grandma's) bed, with my headphones, listening to music on my phone when I suddenly hear my mother yelling. I think to my self, "Are they fucking serious their fighting again." I take off my headphones for a bit, "Nah I'm not gonna deal with it." I thought so I put my headphones back on againg and turnd up the volume to full blast. I can still hear them yelling, "Its no use, I can still hear them." I took off my headphones, I  just layed there staring at the sealing, listen to my parents argue. I should have know that not even music can block out their yelling , it's not the first time, they were at it again.

      Thinking to my self "I hate when my mom and dad argue, it's so annoying,  I swear I just want to go in there and slap the shit out of both of them." In reality I know I can't do that. After a while of starting at the sealing ,I manage to get up, out of bed, I open the door walk to the living room where my little brother ( Carlos 5 years old) and sister (Alyssa 3 years old) are playing the Wii.

       I sit on the couch between Carlos and Alyssa. " Hi sister" Alyssa said as I sat down. "Hey baby" I said, sweetly smiling at her, knowing she can hear mom and dad yelling from the other room as well. She lays her head on my lap, tired she closes her eyes, "Sister I'm tired" she said. Thinking to my self "I'm tired too, tired of all this bullshit between mom and dad , tired of dad's lies, I'm just so sick and tired of it." I put my arm around her to confront her, I let out a sigh"  I'm tired too."
