These words are not my home


It hurts. Their words that fly like bullets cascading out of their mouths. They hurt. Do you ever feel like if you listen to the things they say you'll lose it? I want to lose it. Just get up and sprint out of here. Run so hard, so fast, I fly right over their irritating vocabulary. But I can't. I won't. I'm scared; why? How can just a few syllabols change the entire flow of my emotion? I tell myself, "Their not worth it. Just calm down. Their not worth it." Then they speak again. More bullets flying at my still figure. I cannot move. They have me drilled to the floor as their lashing words strike me again and again, like a tattered leather whip. I think about their words every day. What are they suppose to mean? How do I take it? But most of all, how could these individuals, these once caring individuals say such things? Maybe they're suppose to be here. Maybe they're suppose to help me grow a back bone. Or maybe they were suppose to be gone, before they came.
