5  years old

Life was all sunshine and rainbows

Looking out the window,  noticing only the bright days

Just a little girl with her brown teddy bear

Playing on the swingset without a care in the world

Little did i know every time I turned my back there was screaming

Little did i know every time my mom turned her back,

My dad was running off with another girl

Little did i know my family was falling apart right in front of me

Starting to notice the constant fights

Our dinner plates no longer being used for eating off of,

But instead being thrown across the kitchen

Before I know it my mom is shoving everything into boxes

Leaving most things behind

Just focusing on getting the hell out of there she told me

I was only 5 years old when my family got ripped apart  

Hearing these late night sobs

I was only a little girl trying to comfort my mom

But still wondering why
