They came from a broken family
Violence
Drinking
Child abuse

Their parents fight all the times
Father wants "special" treatment
From his daughter
Sometimes he hungers
For his son
And when it is not father
Mother wants these special times
With the kids

Why
What have these children done
To be treated like this

Brother and Sister
Wish to run away
Leave and never return
To this dreadful place

But for now
They must hang on
As best they can
Drawing strength from each other
