i listen

i listen as my parents scream obscenities at each other
the slam of doors and fists
make me jump and shake
tears roll down my face
as i put my headphones on
and turn my music up loud
till it silences the fight
but their screams still echo in my head
as i listen to my moms voice crack
as i listen to my dad yell

i clench my fist and start to hurt

deep down
i break
