Misunderstanding

You don't seem to understand,

Yet you continue to stand,

Making me the one in the wrong,

So the argument continues to prolong.

I find it to be unfair

Which is why I sometimes don't dare

To say anything in case it results

In raised voices and insults.

Maybe this is why I feel unheard:

But what can I do when silence's preferred?

I wish for someone to realise,

Even if it's just by looking into my eyes,

That I'm not alright,

That I don't want to fight,

That I don't want to go through this,

That I'm stuck in an abyss.
