Every move that I make causes a signal of annoyance.
You roll those brown eyes at every word I want you to hear.
You have no care for my choice, no care for my voice
No care for the injustice I had to face through the years.
Then you explode like a bomb, blasting your words into the void.
You claim that you are being reasonable and fair and diplomatic.
But the results are the same, like the A's on my English test
And I scream back and our so-called "conversation" turns to static.
Like downloading thousands of files onto my Windows XP,
The roaring and outbursts fills my very being, my inner self.
My computer and I both can only take so much
And adding more files and more rage won't do anything to help.
But I'm no senseless machine, talk to me like I'm human!
Don't you consider the fact that I have feelings too?
All you do is add more dry wood to the blazing fire
And I burn up and scream back at you.
Emotions wrap around my head, my mind caught in a typhoon
Full of anger and hate and pain and sorrow.
Paranoia and claustrophobia and a little trace of nausia
The world and its colors blur like there's no tomorrow.
There were ways that you could've helped settle things down
I could recite them to you, and I guarantee there are more than one.
This boy wasn't made to have your rage taken out on me.
I don't want to sit there, trying to take it all in and wish I was good and gone.
But no, you just have to yell some more
Gradually, the decibels increase by multiples of ten
For sure I thought our own voices would shatter the window
And would the sound of the breaking glass put some sense into you then?
All there is, and ever seems to be, is the noise, the noise, THE NOISE!
I tried too hard to hold on, my life line to sanity snaps in two.
My body heats up a couple thousand degrees Farenheit, and I scream:
"I can't hear you."
"I can't hear you!"
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
But you never seem to listen....

- i really like this one.. i can relate to it a lot. my mom doesn't usually let me put a word in, so i just kind of stopped trying and take her screams. it definitely sucks. i wrote some stuff about it, too, but i ended up just deleting it because it really hurt to go back and read it. it's pretty cool that you feel comfortable enough to post it up here!

- it's alright. i don't see my mom much these days. meaning, she comes home from work at 6:00, so i spend only 3 hours being in the same house with her. and those are weekdays. but when she is home, all hell just breaks loose.
