Night That Scars

That night where you wish everything is quiet

But it's not

You wish that things are different 

But its not

You wish you could have done something, anything

But you couldn't

You try to drown out the sounds of screaming from the other room

You can't

You can't.... You can't take it anymore, 

The fights, the late nights

You creep out of the bedroom by yourself

Silently down the hall

Trying to not make a sound

It's not that hard considering the noise

You see things flying and crashing

You want to cry out 

But you can't

Fear that you would be the one being thrown at

You watch quietly as the scene unfolds before you

Beer bottles smashed on the walls

Railings destroyed

Your mom is crying and you want to go hug her and tell her everything is going to be alright

But you can't

In reality, 

You can't

You can't face the monster that is before you

That ruined your lives

What can you do when you only six

Nothing

Nothing at all 

when he leaves you hug your mom and she tells you everything will be alright

But it's not

Your older brothers come out and say the same thing but you may be six but you know better

You know that nothing is alright and nothing will be alright

Ever

Because it just not
