"Where have you been??!"

"Why did you come home so late?!!"

Mom shouted with anguished in her voice,

Shouting in the middle of dawn.

"Will you stop slapping me?! We had overtime work",

"No! I don't believe you! Have you been to your mistress these days?!"

Mom cries with her anger,

I was just behind the door listening

Listening how they quarrel

During breakfast mom is so silent, dad wasn't there to eat. Just me and mom

Mom is always sad, dad is always almost nowhere to be found at home.

They always fight, fighting like they don't see me

It's as if they were only two of them without me

Mom? Dad? Can you both consider my presence?

Can you at least think, I am here

I am here hurting,

Hurting the fact you always clash with each other,

Aren't you in love with each other before having me?

Until one day, dad comes home

Hastily packing things.

"What are you doing?!!"

Mom mumbles!

"I will leave this house! I cannot bear to live here anymore with a nagger like you!"

"What?! What about Andy? What about us?" She pleads.

"There's no us anymore since the day I found someone better than you!"

"Someone who doesn't nag me all day long",

Dad replies.

"Dad where are you going? Dad, why are you leaving us? Dad, please don't leave 😭". I cried begging...

"Andy baby, dad will have works to do. I will just visit you here often, don't worry okay?" Hugged and kiss my forehead and flee.

Mom cries out loud, I felt sorry for my mom

I felt sorry for myself as well

Mom was very sad, she barely has time to take care of me

Until one day, mom glows up again

I was happy, happy to see my mom glowing back

She smiles, she makes herself beautiful

I was happy, until...

"Andy, meet your Tito Jim. From now on he will live with us"

I was stunned, Mom has a new boyfriend.

Mom and Tito Jim got a new baby,

I have a little sibling, I was supposed to be happy

But I wasn't, Dad never visit me again

Mom's attention was not on me anymore

Not anymore since then,

Now I am asking myself

Where do I belong?

Can somebody tell me where?

Where do I belong?

Is there a place that wants me?

It seems I have lost a place

A place called "Home"

This is a fiction, but as I was drafting it made me cry too 😭. As I was imagining some dramas of a broken family. The child left alone in the middle of nowhere, feeling lost in the place where she is. I dedicate this to all the child who is a product of a broken family. Stay strong, life has more to offer if nobody is embracing you then embrace yourself. Sending my warm hugs for you! 😍

I almost thought you actual;ly experienced this! There is so much emotion in your article that it feels like you experienced this yourself. It's a sad story, but an amazing story-line you've got there.

Whoah! It's fiction but the emotions I felt while reading this is -- I can't explain. I'm mad. Mad about the thought about how selfish those parents are. How they just seek for their own happiness and abandon their family and their child just like that. This scenario is close to reality tho and I pity those children with parents such as this. Nice one, you can be a wattpad writer 👏🏻

Yeah, this is fiction but the emotions I poured was easy to me because somehow, I can relate but in a different story. The implication of this poem focus on how some selfish parents forget their child, seeking their own happiness. And also to the lost child, and this is reality somehow that's why some people who are made from a broken family is really different when it comes to behavior and psychological aspects. I wish I can be a wattpad writer 😂

I am afraid to comment on this article, when I look at the comments below, you poured so much emotion on this piece of writing, and to read your statement in the comments that you don't give a damn about your dad makes me sad

Why are you sad? Are you sad for me? Are you sad for my dad? In which part are you sad? So I can clarify some things to you to ease your sadness in this piece. Though, this is really sad because this is reality somehow to others, including me.

I wonder too why it makes you sad @Fexonice1 for the dad. The man left, did not care about wife and child, he wanted a good life for him. Sounds very selfish to me to celebrate life and let someone else behind in misery and carry all responsibility. That man is not a father. He gave up his rights and there's no reason to shed a tear about someone who doesn't want you and made that clear.

Although it is just a fiction, I always feel so sad for children that are product of broken homes

The storyline is fiction but the theme of this poem is reality, and was inspired by it. It is really sad, the reality we can't control and its rampant nowadays.

I don't think this is a poem. A poem needs more than be written in a certain way. You could make a poem out of this one and a story, life tale out of this, a diary or a freewrite.

How easily men leave, at times I envy them for it. 👍💕🍀
