Mother,father,

what are you doing?

You are insulting each other

in the most painful way

You are blaming each other

with words that you forbid me to say

 

Mother,father,

what are you doing?

You are beating each other

All I see is things being scattered

All I hear is the sound of slapping and thumping

And I kept wondering why?

 

Mother,father,

We used to be so happy

Our home used to fill with laughters,

but now it turns out to be so bitter.

 

Mother,father,

why are you still fighting,

while I'm here silently crying?
