Confusion

Confusion

A Poem by -!katie!-
"

written from the point of view of me, as a four year old, watching my family fall to pieces.

"

Fighting, angry shouts
Brother, don't take me away.
What�s going on with mommy and daddy?
Why is everyone upset? Is this my fault?
No, don't take me downstairs.
I want to know what�s happening.
You say everything is okay, don't cry.
Why is there so much anger?
I don�t understand.
Where is daddy going?
Daddy, please come back,
Don�t drive away.
Don�t you love me?
I'm still here.
Me, your little girl
staring out this window waiting for you to come home
I see your truck drive away up the hill.
Why isn�t it turning around?
So much confusion
I don�t understand.
Separation�
Divorce...
What
?

You showed your confusion very well, and I'm not going to pretend that I know how it feels to go through divorce.
My only suggestion is for instead of "what" as the last word you could try "what's going to happen to me" or something along those lines. You don't have to change it if you don't want to.

:D
