In a world of whispered dreams,
I longed for a family’s gleam,
Wished for laughter, warmth, and glee,
a home as it was meant to be.
Yet echoes of strife, like thunder,
broke the silence asunder,
Fragments of joy shattered in the fray,
as I yearned for a brighter day.
Loud voices, a tempest in the night,
left scars on my tender soul so tight,
Parental battles, a haunting score,
echoes still, forevermore.
Home became a foreign land,
a place where fear took its stand,
Dreaming of a life serene,
like other kids, untouched and clean.
Yet, in the shadows of their quarrels,
I lost the chance to break the hurdles,
A healthy life, a missed embrace,
as echoes lingered, leaving a trace.
Scared of raised voices, conflict’s art,
etched within, a trembling heart,
A wish unspoken, a silent plea,
for parents who knew how to just be.
Not a blame, but a wistful sigh,
for a past that shaped their sky,
In their struggles, they found their way, unknowing of the price I’d pay.
If only they knew the impact profound,
of their actions, the echoes’ sound,
A yearning for a different start,
a wish etched deep within my heart.
