One of many songs written awhile back

My first post with a song of mine. How exciting! I'm thrilled to be sharing with you these inspired songs about life. This one happens to be about divorce. I'm not divorced, but my parents are and this is just a story of how divorce can play in the future of a child. Introspective kind of look. Below are the lyrics:

One thing's for sure, someone's gonna get hurt
Especially when two people say they don't love each other anymore
Behind closed doors it's a different world
Screaming matches, emotional madness, deepening sadness
When will it all end and who's gonna get caught
In between the war zone you started at home

I don't want to live like this
A civilian caught up in the midst
Waiting for this war to end
So, we can start our lives again

Cause I've been taking it in
Taking everything
And it's a little bit overwhelming
As a kid it's hard not to let it get to me
So, when you guys quit, you don't have to say you're sorry

Things that impact us when were kids
Events, mistakes, fights all fall within
I can't remember the last time we just laughed
I know that this past holds me back

I don't want to live like this
Following my parents' footsteps
This battle we have just began
But, I lay down my pride to work on what we have

Cause we've been taking it in
Taking everything
And it's a little bit overwhelming
But, don't let it get the best of us
Let's not quit, let's focus back on us

Check this song out!

This song, "I Will Go" by Starfield rocks! I love the part where he writes "I will not be blind with privilege" because I live in an area where everything is nice, but that's not the rest of the world.
I am blessed and rich because I have a place to stay, food on the table, more than a set of clothes, etc. So, there's no reason for me to think that I'm poor or broke just because I don't get everything I want. I have so much!!!!

Below is the song!
