Escape
I shut out the dark cloud of words.
circling like birds above my head
reverberating penetrating
piercing like swords, injury by harsh
sounds cruel intent
Silence now my best defence
this no time to mount
a counterarguement
it will only cause offence
I need to save my sanity
in serenity
Face and body language neutral
I release calmness
focus on the harmless sound.
of the house those
small comforting noises
welcome in the dark of the
night or the eye of the storm
My spirit is not broken
I will survive anger without blows
I am wrapped in my tranquility
floating in a bubble roaming
free from fear
my submission is just remission
Until I can escape
