I don’t know what to do
All they ever do is fight
Screams and shouts about how much they hate each other.
I don’t know if I can take another night.

I don’t know what to do
She’s dying before my eyes.
Losing her would be like losing my soul.
I don’t want to say good byes.

I don’t know what to do
The fight is just getting worse
What did my family do
To deserve such a curse?

Sometimes life gets way too hectic
Sometimes it likes to pop out and say BOO!
Will someone please tell me
What the hell I’m supposed to do?

This piece is based on real life, though I will not share about who. It's very personal to me and I hope that other people will be able to relate as well.
