I CAN’T STAND WHEN PEOPLE ARE YELLING.
IS YOUR CAPS LOCK BUTTON BROKEN?
MY BRAIN IS SAYING,
THEY’RE BELITTLING YOU; YOU’RE A JOKE TO THEM.
I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO FUNCTION.
*****!
OH, NOW YOU’RE USING WORDS TO OFFEND ME!
I’M THEIR OPPONENT,
I’M ABOUT TO SWITCH,
I SEE RED,
THAT’S NOT HOW YOU GET THROUGH ME!
BUT TO TELL YOU THAT, IT WON’T BE EASY.
GOTTA GATHER MY SCATTERED THOUGHTS NOW.
THANKS A LOT, I WORK HARD TO MAINTAIN A CLEAR MIND.
YOU TELL ME TO USE MY WORDS, AND YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND ME WITH ALL THE YELLING BUT WHEN I DO. YOU START YELLING!
WHY?
OKAY, DEEP BREATHS, LETS COUNT TO TEN; ONE, TWO, THree,
FOur, We ARe GETting CLOse, FIve, Six, SEven, I HAte IT, CUZ It STays IMbedded, EIght, Nine,
ten...
i made it, i do not get it. as i lay in my bed, i closed my eyes. that was a lot of energy you took out of me. i'm drained and exhausted, why do you always have to yell at me for? my head hurts, i hear whispers. they are telling me, you will be okay, tomorrow will be a better day. goodnight baby demon, you are great, we love you.
