I barely raised my voice

A gently question escaped my lips

So now I'm the bad guy?

I need to apologize

Sue me for asking the truth

I stopped my rebellious words

Sat quietly in the corner

You ignore me for a moment

My only peace I endured

Sticks and stones, knives you through at me

I sat mute

Everything I needed to say

Pounded at my teeth

Why can't you listen?

Surely your sense is functional

I didn't argue nor disagree

Sitting still as my heartbeat quickens

White flag raised up

I walked out and paced the hallway

While you sharpened your knives

"I'm not done with you yet"

Ready for the blow

I barely raised my voice

As you charged

Weapons in tow
