A child locking self up in a room,
feeling so gloom and doom,
doesn't have courage to go outside,
weeping, sobbing alone inside,
listening the noise of quarrel & fight,
always between a state of plight,
peeking out from a window,
praying for getting calm everything but, seems him hollow,
watching two persons with fear,
who nurture and rear him up,
got tired to see everyday dispute,
which gives him worst experience acute,
crouches down, putting head on kneels,
his eyes are shedding drops of tear and trying for heals,
plucking up strength to bear all,
meanwhile, thinks to go out and sort out it all,
he deems himself so wretched,
tears spreads over kneels and so drenched,
many questions are going around in his mind,
that why they don't stop fighting and rescind,
why they don't care about their child,
and all the time they engage in strifes and don't care him with mild,
gets so effected by all these,
hopes, one day it would cease,
he is thinking, a child can face everything,
but, he can't confront his parents fighting with each other,
