Eggshells

I've never really understood

''walking on eggshells''

until now.

I say one little thing--

I vent about stress--

something they're supposed to understand--

and all they do in return is yell

and condemn

and shut me away.

I can go nowhere:

there's nowhere to run to

nowhere to hide

I think I would run away

if I could.

I think I mean that this time.
