What Would You Change Scholarship
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
