Analysis of for all teenagers with divorced parents
nina 2002 (Paraguay)
would my life be easier
if my parents had never divorced?
i guess we’ll never know.
would my life be easier
if my dad never had cheated on my mom?
i guess we’ll never know.
sometimes, though, i like to imagine
what my life would be
if none of that had ever happened.
would i be happier?
i guess we’ll never know.
but something certain is, that
my mom wouldn’t have another child with another man.
my dad wouldn’t have another child with another woman.
i wouldn’t be stuck at home watching over the kids.
i would be free to go out on weekends.
without worrying about the kids,
and thinking “oh, who’s going to stay with them?”
something certain is, that
i would be capable of fully enjoying my teenage years.
i wouldn’t stress about other kids’ homework.
i would be able to travel more.
but at the end,
i guess we’ll never know.
