Poetry: Family conflict

Mommy Doesn't Know



Mommy doesn't know,
That Daddy's not so sweet,
That he's not all she thinks he is,
That all he's full of is conceit.

Mommy doesn't know,
That every time she walks out that door,
I see another side of daddy,
As I'm hit once more.

Mommy doesn't know,
All that I do,
That she doesn't have to know Daddy,
The way that I have to.

Mommy doesn't know,
That I'm not shy,
I'm just scared,
Of Daddy's lies.

Mommy doesn't know,
That this is my last fight,
As I watched Daddy's angry face,
Fade from my sight.

    in a family with ties so strong
    we bound each other with memories past.
    Clasped in anger boiled over
    frozen

    INTRO

    Two Brothers
    Both Smart
