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
