Jen H. Poet Free verse

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...
