The noise..from all the fighting is getting to me. My parents are having their own private ring fight. Way more than I want to deal with. I cant handle it. Im gonna crack. My head starts throbbing and my fingers are twitching. My hand quickly reaches for my guitar and my knuckles turn white as my eyes start searching for the quickest way out of here with out getting noticed.

My parents are too busy fighting in the living room, that I'm able to sneak out the kitchen door. I walk out the back gate and past the garbage cans. I throw my hood over my head and keep my eyes down.

I head to the old railway. Its quiet and I dont have to worry about the looks I get for having the town drunk as a father. Forget the bruises, they dont notice those. Too busy talking shit about what scene the old man caused when they stopped serving him. Its alright I wear long sleeves to cover them up anyways. I get enough looks. I dont need your pity.

I jump down onto the tracks and grip my guitar close as I get ready to let it out. Its my way of screaming. I close my eyes and wait for the emotions to flood out so I can block it out. My anger melts away.

The faster my fingers move the closer Im to relaxing. I needed the release from the mental cell I was in. Time flys by me as the tears spill down my face onto my guitar. I cant stop them. This is too much for anyone to take. Sorry mom.

I lean back against the cement wall and look up. Its dark now. The stars are out and I know he will pass out soon. He got started early. I tried convincing mom to leave, that id find a job to help out. Maybe she likes the abuse. Her answer is its to late for her.

I get up and put on my mask. I had my meltdown now its time to go home. I swing my guitar over my back and shove my notebook in my back pocket.

I sneak back inside. I try to make no noise. I go to my bedroom and strip down to my boxers and hope I make it thru the night without him looking for a punching bag.

The sun rises to soon. I take a quick shower and head out. Gone before he wakes. I climb the steps to school and think two weeks left and Im out. Forget Ohio.

I have been saving money for two years now. I will be able to survive a little while. I found a roommate in California. I just have to figure out a cheap way there. All in time. Its coming together. I sit on the steps with my ear buds in listening to my ipod. It will get better. Its almost over.
