When A Boy becomes a Man

Mommy and Daddy are fighting again
Their little boy, slowly dying within
Mommy cries, Daddy just screams
Together shattering a six year olds dreams

Teary blue eyes shut so tight
Small fists, knuckles gripped white
Anger set deep into a tiny heart
Hate was ripping his world apart

At school he'd stare blankly into space
A sullen expression on his face
Unable to concentrate, he started to fail
Daddy hit Mommy, he promised not to tell

At lunch he sat alone but didn't eat
He fidgeted nervously in his seat
Looking down as he walked the hall
When he got home he couldn't talk at all

He took his bath and he went to bed
Unable to get their fighting out of his head
Right on cue his Daddy came in
Him and Mommy where fighting again

Mommy cried, when Daddy knocked her to the floor
The boy screamed "don't do this anymore"
As he ran down the stairs tears in his eyes
A gun in his hand to his daddy surprise

Carefully the little boy takes aim
Struggling to end his mommy's pain
Squeezing the trigger gun at his Daddy's head
The man of the house because Daddy is dead
