Why do I have to feel this lump in my throat?
I think I'm going to choke.
My cement foundation in a coat.
My castle has a surrounding moat.
Deep breath in.
Deep breath out.
The quiver of my chin.
Why do I have to count?
Mother yells.
Father shoves.
Sister tells.
Brother never loves.
Though I stand there.
Being their show.
For there was no where
That I could go.
Turning away.
Threats litter the floor.
My tears at bay.
Hand pushing me into the door.
Is this the lump in my throat?
