Broken Child
I am the ball that you lob in between,
Hurled from here to there,
Why do you hurt me? I am just a teen,
Swirled up in the air,
Where do I stay now that you are divorced,
With mom or with dad?
Do such things have to be strictly enforced,
When I feel so sad?
How can you do this? I'm your only child,
Don't split me in two,
Why can't you just be simply reconciled?
I love both of you.
