Tradition.
Різне, Думки вголос
When I was a kid,
I would wake up at 4am,
Hearing the sounds
of my parents fighting.
It was an every night thing of their's.
Much like a tradition.
And having this tradition was something I hated.
even my little innocent mind
understood the reason why.
The little me knew this fight was the one
that could break our family apart.
But, I remained cocooned in the blanket to
block out the sound of my mom
hitting the wall and
crying out in pain.
I wanted to get up
hug her tight.
But, I was too scared.
Too scared.
I held on my sobs.
But I couldn't stop the fat tears
rolling down my cheeks.
My little heart was beating fast,
so loud that I could hear it
along with my mom's cries.
Till this day,
I never asked them about their 'tradition'
and since then, I blame myself for not standing up
and not stopping my dad from leaving me.
