the voice is back
it wont go away
not until I give in
they want me to grab my sharpened pencil
find a good spot
and scribble into the peach paper
scribble harsh enough
or they wont be satisfied
then once they are satisfied
they will stop
they'll go quiet
then I will be filled with regret
I will hide my tainted pencil
then take a shower
cleaning the harshly done scribbles
then hide my paper from anyone and everyone
my parents will wonder
'Why are you wearing a sweater? It's over 90 degrees!'
I'll act surprised and say that im really cold
they wont notice how my eyes dart to the place
where I scribbled my peach paper
they wont notice how I tug my sleeves down quickly when I reach for a salad bowl
they will never be able to notice my damaged peach paper
if they do
they will never understand
they will call me selfish
they will think i want attention
they will never understand the voice i hear
beckoning for me
to scribble my
poor
poor
peach paper
