I don't understand.
Why can't they be happy again?
I drew mommy a picture yesterday to stop her from crying.
But daddy said she was lying.
I made an extra goal for daddy today.
But mommy said she was surprised he even stayed for the game.
I don't know what's happening and it's scaring me.
I don't know why they're yelling and screaming.
Someone was supposed to kiss me goodnight.
But from that they started to fight.
I don't understand.
Is it my fault?
Maybe I shouldn't have helped them at all.
They don't seem to care how loud they get and how it makes me sad.
They don't seem to understand that going to school makes me glad.
They don't seem to know sometimes I cry in the classroom.
They don't know how I get upset when I have to go home for the afternoon.
I don't understand how two people can somehow love each other to make me.
Maybe mommy and daddy are fighting because they don't really want me.
I don't know.
I'm confused.
I don't understand.
