Can'T Think

Can't think about it The yelling and screaming The hiding in my room Trying to be invisible The lying to my little brother "Everything will be ok..." The crying myself to sleep The nightmares that wake me Can't think about it Can't think about it Ignore those echoing words Focus on your homework Turn up your music Escape to friends' whenever possible Keep your head down at school Lock your door Can't think about it Can't think about it Cover the wounds Internal and External Sew them up The stinging pain The tears help nothing Dry them quickly Take a deep breath Don't think about it...
