a witness to the yells or shouts
a witness to the pattern of "oh okay" and "GET OUT!"

a witness to tears and uproars
a witness to hurtful words and slamming doors

on the outside i'm holding it strong all together
but the demons are as unpredictable as the weather

it's like being in space and trying to breathe air
when they preach about the future i don't really care

"no one knows what's worse drowning beneath the waves or
dying from the thirst."
my life is altered because of this, the cheerful 5 year old is the person that I miss

The changes were so sudden I don't blame you for not seeing, but what you don't understand is that I'm a human being
