Divorce


Parents become the children

Act out, slam doors

Say stupid stuff to each other

Dad moves

 

Family disintegrates

Custody battle

Financial hardship

Fighting over who gets the TV

Mom cries

 

Half with dad, half with mom

Who do I ask for help?

Bouncing ball, nobody catching me

Not letting this affect my future

 

Arguing stops

Peaceful evenings

Future solidified

Divorce final
