I’m done with all the fighting
not just one family, but from both

trust is torn
feelings are hurt
pain is present
the storm thunders on…

Everything around me is starting to fade away

Can’t it just disappear?
“No” says a whisper in my head

The storm continues to get worse
and the monsters are starting to show their faces.
Now is the time to fear
but all I hear are muffled screams
and the small whimpers and cries of my siblings

Why all the drama?
added on stories
piled on baggage
All will come out tonight.

Can I just disappear?
“No” says a whisper in my thoughts

The pain spears through my heart
because I started this all
I feel like its always because of me.
What did I ever do so wrong?

Lightning crashes
and a plate crashes
then a punch is thrown
and it pummels through the wall

Now cries of despair are leaving my eyes
a waterfall of the pain built up inside
All come crashing down
in one
small
moment.
