Anger

You talk without listening.

You chastise.

Berate.

I’m suffocating beneath the weight of you.

I need air.

Desperately.

You don’t even realise how much you take.

How little you know.

You don’t care.

I see that now.

You never did.

With each passing day, you take more and more.

The little of me that remains screams beneath the surface.

I feel powerless.

Hopeless.

I just want you,

To hear me.
