His voice cuts through the air,
and I flinch, every time—
like a shadow in the corner
I can't escape,
too afraid to move
or breathe too loudly.
His words are sharp,
even when they aren't meant to be.
They carve into me,
and I brace myself
for the sting,
for the weight of his anger
that never seems to rest.
I wish I could run,
leave this place behind,
but I'm trapped,
chained to a life
that suffocates me in silence.
Each room feels smaller
with him inside it,
and every breath
is a fight to stay calm.
But there's no escape,no door that leads awayfrom this fearthat lives in my bones.So I stay,silent, shrinking,hoping to go unnoticed—wishing I could disappearinto the spaceshe can't reach.
