Divorce is a terrible thing, something that scars children, and breaks up families. Often times the children will blame themselves. The angry words, and even the tone of which they are said can cause and open wounds that will be with that child forever.
You ask where I got my inspiration. That I would answer from another poem, from what my friends have told me, from watching TV, movies, listening to music would be so simple, so nice, better than the truth, a lie. My inspiration was from my life listening to my parents fight, hearing their angry words, listening to the slamming doors, watching silently as my mother cried, as I did when I put those words on paper. My mom has been divorced twice before and so is now in her 3rd marriage, and I am afraid of what will happen if she gets divorced again, afraid of what I know will happen, of what I have seen happen too many times before.
As you read this, or listen to me read it I don’t want you to feel anything. I don’t want to put you through the pain that I went through, I don’t want you to be like me.
I wrote this poem because I had to. It’s the way I am, if I don’t write all my emotions build up inside. And believe me it doesn’t feel good when they finally come out.
My purpose of writing this was so you would see, see the pain and torment that it caused me. So you could understand what it does so that you would see the warning signs, and not be in the middle all alone, like I was.
