Are they listening?
Only when I say something they don't like
Do they even know me?
When I spell it out
Why must they raise their voice?
My heart stops
My body tenses
My eyes widen
A heat wave rushes my cheeks
Their voice is so loud in my head
Words swarm
An excuse
An apology
Anything to get away
Get out of the room
Out of sight
Please stop YELLING!
They only got louder
They only got prouder
Beating my head
Changing my words
I didn't say that
I didn't mean that
I didn't think that
I didn't want this
Walking away
Best option
Slamming my door
Falling to the floor
Tears stinging my eyes
Footsteps of wise
They continued on
Yelling to anyone that would hear
A phone dials
Front door shuts
She's gone.
Until dawn rises.
Sorry if this seems confusing. I get anxiety when others raise their voices with me. This is an example of my parents, the ending of my mother. We fight alot and when I'm wrong, you can guess what happens if you read after the first stanza. It's not a nice feeling...not as bad as pain but when one is frozen in fear. It can become painful.
Thank you for your time :)
