If I had to power to change one thing it’d my family

Mom and dad are always arguing

While I am at home it feels my hearts hardening

Words exchanged back and forward

It feels like my family has a sick disorder

And I’m sad because I might see my brother gone because of a court order

 

My mind is a warzone

And it feels like I’ve been hit by a mortar

I’m emotionally wrecked and there’s no one I can talk too

I’ve prayed to god for help

But I’ve seen no answers

I wonder why I keep asking

 

At home I show no emotion

While inside I feel disowned

My parents wonder why I stay in my room

I consider it my safe zone

 

Because every time they talk to me

It feels like they have a bone to pick with me

 

My mom is always mad and just yells at me

My dad is no better because he keeps hitting me

 

I may be 18

But it feels like I’m in prison for being myself

I’m locked up in my own mind

And I can’t find the key

 

So if I could change one thing

It would be my family

Because life’s not a fairytale

And I want to live happily
