The Never Ending War

I wake up in the morning,
Do I dare say a word.
I'd say anything,
But only if theyd heard.

I walk to school,
I find a new way around,
Ill walk and walk,
half way across town.

This day is horrid,
Full of shame.
But what can I do?
Its always the same.

Im thankful the day is over,
Its over and its done.
Now I must go home,
Where theres a battle to be won.

I go to my room,
To escape the war.
I hear them yelling,
Its just so hard to ignore.

My father yells,
My mother cries.
I see the hurt,
In her pain filled eyes.

I go to sleep now,
My thoughts gathered as one,
Sometimes I think,
Of the treachorous gun.

I wake up,
No one is there.
Its peaceful and quiet,
But why should I care

I cant help but feel,
That something is terribly wrong.
But what can I do,
Ill just move along.

I get a phone call,
From my mother,
Everything is fine but I have to choose,
Between her and my father.

I could never choose,
I would never,
Ill love them both,
Forever and ever.

Ill stay alone,
I wont buy in
No one will see
The light within.
