The House

Dads home
run and hide
act busy
can't wait till 5
moms home then
it'll all be fine.
Sister takes most of it
the verbal abuse
she runs and runs
but can't break loose
straight A's in school
mind set right
he doesn't see in her mind
this is one big fright.
her home is a house
she wishes she could close
escape from reality
from this world that she knows.
Moms home know
time to break free
no such luck he's on a spree
path of destruction
get out of his way
before he gets to you
with all this corruption.
There I am
wanting to hide
too young to fight
I have no pride
wanting things better
why cant we get along
wanting a family
where I feel I belong
dinner at the table
sunday evening drives
chaos and confusion
this is our lives.
