It was loud.

It was loud.
I don't remember 
How.
I just know I learned
To give any space
A sound.

Voices reflected 
Off my ears
That space between our bodies 
Was all that I could hear

Do you realize when you do it?
Do you recognize that
Whenever you talk to me
I hear nothing that is said

I've fallen victim to the wickedness
The tone that you construe 
It rings out louder than any 
Words between me and you 

You radiate a darkness
That counteracts the light
I can see you trying to let show through 
Your manifested night

But in order to hold onto
The relationships you've built
You must utilize your kindness
Rather than trying to guilt.

Perhaps you just don't see it
Perhaps you like the feat
Of conquering your loved ones
And putting them beneath.

Unfortunate it is
This poison you emit
Even in the good words
I can taste arsnic

It's sprinkled in your attitude
And slipped into our mind 
I find myself collapsing
Into your venomous bind

Nothing is good enough
No thanks or gratitude
You find appreciation
By capitalizing on our debt to you

And just know that it hurts 
With every negative lapse
Our two steps towards you
Comes with six large steps back

You've become a monster
Destructive to those around
I really hope you're happy
I truly hope you're proud

You finally got what you wanted.
Our submission and our pride,
Talking back and engaging gone,
By our silence we abide 

And know when you apologize
And you detect our passiveness
Remember that's what you created
From making us feel less

I no longer hear you. 
No matter what it's about
I've been trained to make my silence
A thousand times more loud.
