"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe the happiest girls are the prettiest girls. And I believe that tomorrow is another day."

they scream at each other
in all caps
as i sink to the floor
with fear
and worry -
i am very afraid
and i am very weak.

I wrote this poem based on the viewpoint of someone who's parents end up getting divorced in the future. This poem does not personally pertain to me.

I like how you said that they yelled in "all caps," it made it more personal to this generation who is always with their phones and computers.  It also shows how the child feels when parents argue, hopeless.  Keep it up!
