A New Beginning

Loud arguments fill the room
I stand in the hallway listening in, screaming
But no one can hear me
I'm all alone

I am the mediator
In the middle of it all
Two different versions of why it came to an end

Switching households each week
Adapting to opposite  parenting styles
I try to cope with the change

I slowly feel myself begin to drift
Daydreaming about when it all went wrong
Searching for answers in prayer

I Feel empty inside
Left with a memories of what used to be
My mind flooded in overwhelming thoughts

Time lead to the answers I was seeking
I finally understood why
It happened for the best 

Now they hear me
I’m no longer alone

Serena is a shopaholic that spends more money than she earns. She cheers from the sidelines, wondering when it will be her turn to play. Until she does she’ll be the only expert baker in her kitchen while using Duncan Hinds cake mix.
