Better Left Unsaid
Smiles, happiness and laughter
on the outside it is so fake
behind closed doors all a fight
just one enormus mistake
did they really think this through
for Dad, Mom and me
because I think its quite selfish
to end our family
my opinion never really mattered
children were to be seen but not heard
and the adults had all the power
stomping about with their speech slurred
with the strong stench of alcohol
spit across the room as they scream
this isnt my idea of fun anymore
its only a lost canadian dream
as I went to sleep each night
with thoughts of confusion in my head
just knowing the innocent does not talk
because some things are better left unsaid.
