Things Not to Be Heard

Things Not to Be Heard

A Poem by A.E. Reed
"

What I think when my father and step mother fight.

"

I hear it from my room

Hoping it would end soon

They fight over small things

Regardless of the pain it brings

They go from one to the other

Between him and my mother

He doesn’t get her

And there words are just a blur

I can’t help but cry

And inside, I die

The curses and harsh words fly through the air

Saying things they wouldn’t dare

It happens all the time

So often it should be a crime

I want them to stop

A stupid fight they need to drop

This was written when my parents fought so I had a good idea of what I was feeling.

I have to catch myself when my husband and I fight....it's easy to assume the children are oblivious to the bickering and nonsense. But truth is...they are very smart...easily damaged...I wish we could keep the children innocent...see no evil...hear no evil. :(

This is so true! My parents used to fight, but they saw how much pain it brought their children so they tried to get along for us. Beautiful!!!!!!!!

I used to go through this all the time with my mom and real dad. Then between my mom and step dad. It doesn't happen so often anymore. Great job.
