Why can't it, why must they?

Sadness envelopes me again

the fighting all of it, I want it to stop

the only person human I trust is my boyfriend

he knows, he knows I'm sad

he's the only one I've told

I can hold it in long enough

before I break down in person

tears streaming down my face

I just want someone to hug, only he can do that

he's far away though,

my dad is the one fighting, so is my mom,

my older brother is also fighting

the young one's feelings are known,

mine are only to a few people

to bottle them like a new soda bottle

then I cry at night

I hear the plop of salty tears on my bed

why must they fight, why must they make me cry, why must they scare me

my dad's and brother's anger scare me,

my mom's great pain I see saddens me,

I want something to make this all stop

why can't it just stop.

They are hitting each other, yelling,

why can't it stop, why must they fight

I end this poem with my crying voice

To stop this fucking stupid fight.
