You ask me questions as though I will answer
Adulthood is still so many years away
Though I look mature my mind is filled with fear
The words I speak have no meaning on this day
Pulled like some taffy I feel your concern
While I say I’m fine I’m really not
The pain of divorce is difficult for the parents
Try being an adolescent who is stuck in such a spot
To go or to stay is a terrible decision to make
The choice of whom to prefer slices so deep
No child should have to understand the desire for freedom
Nor to watch how desperation causes parents to weep
Think carefully of your willingness to depart
Lives changed dramatically affect those of young blood
Perceptions of normalcy is altered forever
Futures no longer possible with a new meaning of love
The desire to start all over is easy to understand
Even the young want another or second chance
Yet the ability to succeed in the future needs nurturing
Forever crippled by the thought of distorted romance
Seek solace among your troubled deep thoughts
Remember when times were lighter than air
Hold close to you those you regard dearly
Think what happens when you’re no longer there
