please don't yell at me
please don't be aggressive with me
please don't raise your voice

please don't bring back these awful memories
please don't remind me
please don't open the scars within my mind
please don't cut the canyons deeper

i've kept them locked for so long
hidden and quiet
for many years

my insanity is a symptom bred and born from the wounds
my insanity is a plea for help
will you please
