Two sides of a family fight over me
Painfully pulling my limbs
They play tug of war
Over my heart

Judge says cut her in half
Or leave her alone

Two sides of a family fight over me
Painfully pulling my limbs
They drive the sword
Over my heart

man i feel so stressed. my gram asks me to babysit her great grandchildren, (their mom and dad are in jail, & their gram is a little off), so she can go gambling, and my parents tell me to say no so i can stay home and do my huge pile of homework.

I really like this poem. It's original and concise. And I was wondering, is this poem about divorce? It seemed like it, and it totally described the feelings I had when my parents seperated
