Betrayal

I was helping
there's no need
for yelling
angrily at me.

Can you not
understand that
not everything
is my fault?

Do you not
think about
how I feel
after you shout?

I am scared,
I don't want
you to stare
and try to talk.

What I want
is some peace,
not go out,
but sleep.

Betrayed,
angry, hurt,
sad, scared,
lonely, alert.

Mad, anxious,
and yet you
don't seem to
notice, or care.

I need help,
not screams,
all I'm asking
is some peace.

I'm everything but
a social butterfly,
more insignificant,
like a fly on a wall.

Accept it,
you must,
that's what
family's about.

I'm living soon
in barely a year
time will pass,
fake you care.

Then we'll forget
about each other,
drift far from
one another.

Until then
let me help.
Try not to yell
I will behave.
