Close the windows,
Shut the blinds,
Lock the doors,
Hide it all inside.
Shove it all away to a secret place;

Tune out the world so you don't hear this.
The screaming,
The crying,
The fake laughing,
The slamming of doors,
The hitting on walls.
The stomping of feet down the halls,
Every little thing that shouldn't happen in a home.

Every little detail that isn't what makes a family.
Lies behind these walls.
Trapped inside themselves in their minds.
Can we ever be free?
I only wish to forget all the memories my flesh and blood left me.
