Mom

I shut my ears I close my eyes No longer do I hear I no longer wish to Your word anger me They fill me with hate Why does it? They are not poison Is it your tone Or my independence? I know not I know nothing Can I not leave? No, you provide Will you stop? No, I don't tell I lie I smile You cannot suspect it I feel you Not for long Soon I'll crack I'll spill my soul I can't contain Take my heart Rip it through I need it no more I cry dry tears I shout silently You can't help I won’t let you Leave me be Keep your distance Don't harm me Don't touch me Let me lie Like a dog Like dirt
