As a result of their parents' divorce, the child is torn between two worlds. They can't help but wonder why their parents are no longer able to love each other as a result of this loneliness consumes them and they yearn for their other parent.
“Two houses, two homes, two kitchens, two phones,
Two couches where I lay, two places that I stay,
Moving, moving here and there, from Monday to Friday I'm everywhere,
Don't get me wrong, it's not that bad
But often times it makes me sad,
I want to live that nuclear life,
With a happy dad and his loving wife,
A picket fence, a shaggy dog,
A fireplace with a burning log,
But it's not real, it's just a dream,
I cannot cry or even scream,
So here I sit with cat number three,
Life would be easy if there were two of me.”
A written by Meghan Markle in 12th grade expressing her emotions in a very simple but soul touching poem.
