All that's Left

All that’s Left
They tell me it will be o.k someday and that all will be as it once was… but I know the truth, it will NEVER be the same, no matter how much they tell me it will. It’s different every day, they will love each other one day, and yell at each outer the next. I get so confused about it…so when she comes up to me with tears in her eyes and says “Why do mom and dad fight?” I can’t help but let the tears come out, so all I do is hold her, and she holds me…and we cry together… because we are all each other has left.

(: killing one emotion to find a greater one... parents will let their children down, just like children will dissapoint thier parents from time to time. But being a sister to a sister or a brother to a brother is exactly the right way to think. You cannot control the circumstances and consequences that are created by others and expressed on you... all you can do is control the circumstances you make for yourself, and use the consequences you receive from your choices to become a stronger young woman.
