Youre still yelling

Sometimes when I hear you yelling,
the easiest thing for me to do,
is to close my eyes and breathe.

Wishing I was anywhere else,
but there.

You dont think I am listening,
but im listening to every word you say.

It pounds against my ear drums,
like banging of drums,
bangs get harder, never seeming to stop.

I pray that at any moment,
your vocal chords will burst,
and silence will fill the room.

But as I come back to reality,
and open my eyes once more,
youre still yelling.
