Divorce, it’s like a monster that you can’t defeat. It’s like your family is falling apart like when a cookie falls on the ground. It’s like your in a prison of sadness that you can’t break out of. It’s like when north and north on a magnet repel, they will never come together. It’s like I’m a ping pong ball on a never-ending game. It’s like I’m a rocket on a never-ending journey. It’s like I’m being bullied and nobody comes to save me. You might think it’s a thing that you can just ask “Can you guys get back together?” but it’s not. It’s something that will stay with you your entire life. Whenever I see a family together it makes me feel like I don’t have one. At night you pray for them to get back together and your wish will never come true. The day they tell you, you might think its a joke but it’s not, it’s never a joke. You will cry all day all night every day every night. It’s a divorce.
