You’ve never listened to me
And I was submissive,
Fixing me as if I was a faulty product.
My mouth shut down,
Stitched up by the sound of your voice.
Miserable at the idea that I was broken.
You still think you’re in the right.
You cease to see that I’ve grown.
I am a serpent
And you are a lion,
Neither of us willing to back down.
I am infuriated
And so are you,
Each with
The determination to win.
She told me not to be scared,
Not to stay quiet.
She is never on my side.
I couldn’t fight back in life.
Now I’m reborn.
I’m changing.
Hurt by the fists and words in the air,
Hot-headed and hostile.
I can’t understand why we clash so much.
Looking back I’m demented.
Tears flowing from my eyes
Like a current flowing through a river.
The pain in my chest
A vice squeezing my heart.
I’m at a dead end.
Staring at a locked door ahead of me,
The only one who can open it is you.
Something so shattered.
Someone so separated.
A father-son relationship.
