Please Stop, And Listen

Many nights I lie awake
Waiting for silence
To hit our floors
Hoping you will fall
A sleep quickly
And not hear my calls.

I know all you ever
Wanted was to keep
Me safe,happy and give
Me all I ask for.
Without questioning
Whether you were doing
me more harm than good.

I really am grateful
For all you do for me,
But while you happily
Glide around in your
Bubble of self
Gratification,
You cannot see
My tears of blood.

I'm like a bird.
Trapped and dying
From all the suffocation
That you give me.

I harm myself not out
Of Boardem or too hurt
You, But because it
makes me feel better
With a touch of control.
After all, I am your
Child to shelter,not
How unwittingly it may be,
Help destroy.

I pray before it's to
Late, that I will be
Freed by you,
And that we both
Fly together, towards
A better place, with
Love and hope.
