Childhood

Bruises are covered and scars will fade but I never forgot your anger that day,

Anxiety and hatred thrown around the room, kindling my temper that I have pushed down too soon.

Your words like knives poised at the blade deadly but meaningless much like the words you say.

I muttered my defence but it was torn in half, overlooked and dismissed like most of my past.

the screaming and shouting is something that I always dread, been walking on eggshells since I could sleep in my own bed.

You will never see the tears or the pain but i know scars always fade.
