Nomination

Sun shines elegantly, as though it were
A stained glass window of an old cathedral, through
Dew covered windows,
My life filled with family activites
Fishing, skiing, trips, movies
Mom and Dad shared every moment
Possible together, happy as a bee on a flower
Until something horrifying, life changing
Occured in the blink of an eye,
Aharsh weekend full of
Jaw clenching yelling and arguing
Hands thrust into the bare air
7 piercing words were spoken
Now I will have
2 Christmas'
2 birthdays
2 different houses
2 seperate parents
1 of which i would
Choose to live with.
The cold, damp, empty court room
Judge in all black, hitting his gavel
Said hello to me. Fear filled my
Body, tears of fear, anger, confusion and sadness
Started to flow down my childish face
Questions in my young brain
Doubled then tripled
Time was frozen, it seemed as though the
Clock stopped, I was stuck to deal with these
Problems alone.
And my perfect life was changed.
