An Evening at Home

A small family sits in peace,
Enjoying the company
The children are playing,
Our parents are chatting
An argument breaks out,
Between mommy and daddy
It's time for me to run,
I know what's coming
I hide in my room,
My own little corner and my own little chair
I hear daddy yelling,
Items bang against the stairs
Covering my ears,
I pretend I'm somewhere that's not here
Every night this is how things go
This is an ordinary Evening at Home
