Abstract

d from the world just wanting to drown. When I was ridiculed as being selfish and lazy.You’re the one I blame; You’re closed minded with narrow sight. Your choice for your life is not welcome in my family. You prance in public dressed like a circus clown. Your beliefs are stupid and logically hazy.I don’t want to hear you; I will scream over your words when you challenge my view. My fear of transition through change will smash any soft spoken gain.

Defend and Destroy

The defense mechanisms we all employ to remain safe.

It is not my fault; You caused our fight. You’re the reason I’m angry. You’re the part of me that gets put down. You make me feel crazy.

I know what it is like, because I remember; When I too was home alone every night. When I lost a loved one that generated such pain. When I turned from the world just wanting to drown. When I was ridiculed as being selfish and lazy.

You’re the one I blame; You’re closed minded with narrow sight. Your choice for your life is not welcome in my family. You prance in public dressed like a circus clown. Your beliefs are stupid and logically hazy.

I don’t want to hear you; I will scream over your words when you challenge my view. My fear of transition through change will smash any soft spoken gain. This war must destroy the differences we speak. Until you agree with me, there will be no peace.

I will push you away with rage from my words; I will not be accepted when your tell me I’m wrong. I can’t listen to your heart when I hear only my song. I turn my back on your world’s blinding reflection. This change you require has caused death to connection.
