I am caught between your disputes.
"no tranquility"
There is no tranquility here at all.
I'm not even sure where I belong.
Because you are constantly fighting.
Dad, why do you reject me?
Dad, why are you claiming Mom cheated?
Mom, please show me your support.
You are my only hope on Earth.
You are my pillar and strength.
I'm not sure how to solve this.
Dad refuses to take a DNA test.
He continues rejecting me.
My tears flow.
I wish I were never alive.
I wish I was born into another family.
Please try to resolve your arguments far away from me.
I wish God could intercede.
I wish you both would quit arguing in my presence.
I feel stressed.
I am a sad, crying child.
I am caught between your disputes.
May God show me his wonders.
God's power must change this situation.

181 Keeping Watch
Each day she watched through her window. Watched? Perhaps an exaggeration: a monochromatic nuclear aftermath remaining of the world, blurring into a blindness--loss of contrast and depth of field. Achromatic aberrations displayed a waste-scape stratified in grays.

Aww, poor kid. Your poem captures the fear and helplessness of children caught in the parent war.
A social commentary. You turned that into a poem. Really a must-discuss topic at all time!
Very heartfelt.
The lines...Dad, why do you reject me? .. Mom, please show me your support. ....makes me more emotional....I like this heartfelt poem !
And that's why we should never bring children into this world if we cannot protect them from these kinda trauma
