silent screams

The mind of a child growing up a his parents fight

I look out the window
I feel the tears run down my cheeks
Its always like this, the screaming and fighting
My heart beat quilkens
I know the silence is a lie
I am scared, at the way the walls surround me
Suffocating me
I scream so loud
Yet no one hears me
I need air, I can't breath
Why are my hands shaking?
Why is my head spinning
I thrown my fist to the wall
There is no such thing as happiness
I laugh "at least not for me" I feel crazy
I need peace, i need to calm down, i will not be scared
I will will not fear them
I start walking back and forth
Who said i had to take this
I walk out the door
And face them

Great and powerful piece!

I feel the tightness, the claustrophobia and torrent of emotion, and finally the boldness to do something about it.
