Every Word

Listening to my parents fighting tells me the reason
for their hateful words.
My mom telling me to stay out of their business,
how can I do that when I hear them?
They don’t try to whisper; all they can do is yell.
Day in and day out, it’s all I hear anymore.
We use to be a happy family, where has the happiness gone?
Down the drain and never to come back again.
They don’t think I understand what is going on.
I hear every word they yell at each other.
I’m not deaf like they think I am..
I’m not a naive little kid like they think I am.
Listening to their words makes me want to break something.
But then they would know that I know
the true reason for their fighting.
Day in and day out, all that I hear anymore.
I wish it would just stop, at least for a little while.
