Holding It All In.

[silverjedi]

When I scream, you don't hear.
When I cry, you always sneer.
When I bleed, you scoff and ignore my plea.
When my bones break, you blame me.
The darkness covers up my tears.
The light gives birth to new fears.

I want to change it all,
But you always hasten my fall.
You say you want give me aid,
But I always come away more afraid.
Then you say it's my fault
And I wonder when you'll end the assault.

When will you understand
And stop giving me a command?
Stop trying to clip my wings.
Let me stretch out and sing.
The box you put me in, let me escape.
When I do, don't get bent out of shape.

But that will never occur.
You're too set in your ways to deter.
So the conflict will always stay alive.
Our differences make it thrive.
I'll hold everything in and remain behind.
Surrounded by no one who knows my mind.

First time I've written a rhyming poem in years.
