"Do Better." You always say.
"I will." Always the same reply.

You scream.
I cry.
You walk away. 
I hide. 

You will never listen to me speak
but will hit me when I scream. 

Your words, 
They cut.
No need for blades.

Your sneers, 
They bruise. 
No need for fists.

"Do better." You always say.
"I can't." Is the new reply.
