The words that don't make it out
That's not what I ment
How did you get that from this
My words are getting bent
My message isn't being sent
I don't want to go through this again
Dad
I don't think that
I'm not just a brat
complaining about this and that
I just want you to understand
where I am at
Mom
i do care
Too much that's the problem
To not I can't dare
It's not fair
to be in the middle of this affair
But I love you both
I'm one of five that does so
I am the oldest life
An important role I was assigned
I don't take sides
but I'm accused of betrayal
In this continuous fight
Just forget it
my words seem to lack weight in meaning
they float away
as I stand here listening
With my teeth gritting
and my mind screaming
Something wrong with this poem?
