My Parents are Monsters

This is my world
Welcome, I guess
Thanks to my parents, it's sort of a mess
They've been on edge, stomping about
Try to approach 'em, they'll snarl or lash out
Sure, whoo-hoo, I'm a princess
Still my life's not ideal
There's a few flaws, mainly because
Both of my parents are monsters
Like, actual monsters, for real

Only last year, things were less weird
Then out of nowhere, a darkness appeared
Suddenly, Boom!
Something just burst
When it was over, my parents were cursed

As for how we can cure them
That's still under dispute
But it's been strange since the big change
Seeing my parents as monsters
Impossible monsters to boot

Now you may think that yours are high strung
Thoughtless and rude
Over dramatic, erratic, unglued
Stubborn as mules, pains in the rear
But mine are so far past the line
That sometimes, I could drastically swear
They're hardly aware I'm here

Such a sweet girl
Such a high platt
Still she's been coping despite you know what
Never complains
Never upset
Under that smile, though, she's struggling, I'll bet

She's the calm and mature one
While her folks go berserk
Having their back, hiding their cracks
Knowing her parents are monsters
And covering for monsters, it's work

Meanwhile there are papers to sign
Troops to inspect
Meetings galore to restore what's been wrecked
People to help, laws to decree
And true, there's tons I'd rather do
But someone's gotta answer the call
And someone is always me!

It would be nice for just a day
To deal with parents who are bossy or nosy
Strict would be fine, annoying, sure, okay
But all that mine do for me is pretty much ignore me
And let me say, it's the worst!

Anyway, this is my life
Has been all year
Under a shadow that won't disappear
Everyone's tense, tempers are high
But I've been dealing, well at least I try

It's my job to stay hopeful
To work through this somehow
Frankly, I know, that even though
They are behaving like monsters
Anrgy and wild
He's a bit riled
Ranting and raving like monsters
Somewhere inside, under that hide
Those are my parents, not monsters

I'm sure they're not monsters
I know they're not monsters
But, boy, are they monsters
Right now
