Your voice

You continue to yell and scream

I'm sorry I say

You yell bullshit in my face

As if I cannot feel pain from your words that cut

They're sharper than razor the butterflies make pretty

You say I don't care

That I'm lucky you love me

Or else I couldn't be a boy

That I have no reason to be scared

Because it's not like you beat me

The voices hurt

Your voice cuts

Deeper than my secrets and my lies

I say I'm sorry

You say bull shit

This poem is about: 
Me
My family
