Withdrawn

Caught in the middle,
Feeling trapped,
The things you say
Are like being slapped.

Bracing myself,
I glaze my eyes,
Shut my lips
Ignore the lies.

When asked to speak
There is nothing to say,
All I want
Is to run away.

I stop myself
From shedding tears,
Close my mind
Against the fears.

A little longer,
This will pass
Life continues,
Moving fast.

You will forget
What you did today,
But in the end
It is I who pays.
