Leave

Go away,

Never come back.

Just get away from me,

You never have anything nice to say anyways.

Whether it's grades or how I'm not good enough,

I've had enough of hearing your bitching.

And you wonder why I hate you?

I retreat to my room,

With the voices of our family war behind the door,

Down the stairs.

There's nothing I can do to make you stop,

To make you leave me alone.

With the three-way war there's no one to side with,

I'm on my own,

Again in the silence of myself.

I used to hate the silence,

Even fear it.

I can't get enough of it now,

Now that it's so rare.

So leave me alone by myself.

I get enough put-downs from myself and my peers.

I don't want any more from you.
