please don't fight

Clap your hands tight
Over your ears
Quick, fake a smile!
Hide all the tears

Hate the ugly fights
All the harsh words
All the sleepless nights
Like wicked sharp swords

Why is it so easy,
To slip on a mask?
Is it to ward off questions
That I never even ask?

Do you feel your heart breaking every time you hear them fighting? Screaming, yelling, wielding words like weapons

Do you feel your heart breaking every time you hear them fighting? Screaming, yelling, wielding words like weapons. Do they even look at you, realize how their words cut you through the core? Do they ever look back and regret their actions?

Does it scare you how normal it has become?

They think you can't hear them, that you never notice. What they don't know is that you observe every interaction, see every tiny detail. Nothing escapes your notice. It's a blessing and a curse.

You wish they won't treat you like an ignorant imbecile.
