I got in trouble so much as a kid For screaming or yelling at my parents Siblings Or anyone else And it took me 27 years to no longer feel like a wretch for that, But it finally hit me today: Why does anyone shout? They're trying to be heard. And I shouldn't have had to raise my voice Just so they would listen. It's not my fault that I had to scream so loudly In order for someone to hear me.
