you screamed so loud that even my demons were shaking and whimpering on the ground;

you pushed me against the wall of questions which even i couldn't answer;

"stop doing this to the people who care about you" 

you mean the one who are such good actors that they even managed to fool my scars;

"why can't you just be happy with everything you have got?"

you mean the pastel paint to draw myself a fake smile and celebrate;

"you are sixteen goddammit! stop acting like you are depressed"

why? is it an illegal age to feel this way;

isn't this what you always said?

you screamed and screamed. voice so loud . deafening vowels and consolations escaping your mouth. 

you wanted me to vomit my feelings and make myself vulnerable;

didn't you? 

didn't you?

so instead,

i started to bleed out the words from the cracks i had gifted myself. 

the red ink dripped from every escape it could manage to flow through;

my eyes. my ears. my mouth. my nose.  from every single gap. 

why did you start taking your steps back and watching me with a frightening stare? 

don't be scared, 

isn't this what you wanted? to know how i feel? 

come back and listen to them. 

them, who are waving their path out of me. 

them, who you wanted to scare. 

them, who i would always save. 

them, my demons. 

they are back again.
