Silenced

Cycle of Abuse, the one who ends up silenced.

You’ve said enough.

Hush.

You’ve said plenty.

No, I don’t want to hear from you.

I don’t care what you have to say.

I’m the better adult anyway…

I said QUIET!

I’m done with your echo.

Keep your thoughts inside of your head.

But I think it’s important.

I really don’t care.

But you’re the one who should.

I would never dare.

Oh.

Wipe that pathetic look off your face!

All I need is the echo when you breathe.

So, I sit here silenced.

I nod my head,

pretend like I’m doing better than someone that’s dead.

I’ll smile to agree,

nod

even when the facts are all wrong.

Your opinions they hurt me,

track me down

As if I really deserve it.

Make myself small,

Is that what you want?

Where if we go to a party,

the spotlight follows you.

Until you need someone to play the court fool.

That’s right, you’ve got it!

Was it really that hard?

No use in fighting

I am right.

I’m the better adult.
I know more than you.

Take a lesson from me,

Do as I say,

Because I like you better that way.

The best thing you could ever say

leaves on room

to agree

with me

Just say,

Okay.
