Silent screams


I wish you knew to crooked ways that you would make me laugh and play

when I'm just oh so afraid that ill..be...weak...

I've always been ashamed of the way I let you

w.

Your aim is alwyas lo o  k   i    n     g     in my way

your WORDS sting much more than your FISTS.

I'd rather you just go   a   w      a        y              .                .                   .

But then you come back every day

Saying the things that you would say

It makes me feel

oh

so

h a p p y

I asSURE you

Your beatings are hilarious 

I love when you shout my name the way...You would.
