Shut Down

I think I might just
Shut down
It's easier that way
I don't want to listen
To the hurtful words you say
I've almost been
'Desensitized'
As some of my generation might say
I do not want to listen
I do not want to speak
But everyone around me says
'Just turn the other cheek'

It seems like you don't want to listen
No, you must always speak
So I'll just lay here
In my bed
As you scream
Almost as loud as things you've put in my head
Here's a short list
Of the things that were said
'You never do me any good'
'Now you're just being stubborn'
'I am never wrong'
'You're just making your anxiety up!'
'You look like a whore'
'I'm sick of dealing with this'
'Wow, you really have gotten too big for those jeans I just bought for you! Shame.'
'You took away my life! You're just a selfish bitch'
Those are just to name a few

But tonight,
Things are different
After another visit of
Hiding in my room and what you call
'Eating my feelings'
I walk in
And I don't say anything
I don't retaliate
Don't even try to speak
Or listen
Or think

No, I just closed the door
And laid on my bed
As you begin to scream more
And just
Shut down

Note:
Heyyy
Don't you just love it when your parent takes their anger and problems out on you?
It's great ™
Wow and they think it's our generation that's screwing other ppl in our generation over
Lol byee
