Just Because my parents are divorced
Don’t walk away from me
Don’t make me feel diminutive
Don’t think I love one of my parents more than the other
Just Because my parents are divorced
Support me when I feel unhappy
Don’t think I get support when I don’t
Don’t not be my friend when I’m shy, come and talk to me
Just Because my parents are divorced
Don’t think my parents hate each other
Help me to realize that it’s what’s best
Be my friend in times of hardships
Just Because my parents are divorced—
