Forever Turning Leaf

My parents are yelling, to and fro, All I do is sit here and wait, for the next scream and shout My world has torn apart, MY home, MY world I don’t want any sympathy, cause then I would cry So many tears, to think so many families go through this fate I hate this cruel, bitter, twisted world, I hate bitter life The only reason why I keep going is for my mother The heart-broken woman, cries for her life back My father storming out, denying any hate All I have now is my music, my sweet lulling music If only I could live and dream my music The sweet pluck of a guitar and the soothing voice It understands what I go through, the pain and the agony I look at baby photos, and even though I remember the every day arguments I look oblivious and see it as the every day life Every part of my home will go, the house, lifestyle, the shouting, The address, to my bedroom I will have to say goodbye Imagine walking into your house after a normal school day And walking out knowing your life will never be the same again Never seeing your bedroom again, never sitting on your sofa again, Never walking along your road to the near by shops Knowing that you can never return Knowing that your life is not in your hands anymore I hate the world, I cannot get who I love, lead the life I want And never see my life again
