By Subhiksha Arulselvam
Yelling
So much darkness
So much of it too
It hurts my ears (the yelling)
Can I go curl up in the corner
And sit down with my cat
Listen to its purring
And fall asleep
Begging my brain to dream
And when I do I smile
I jump into the fantasy
A place of happiness and quiet
No more yelling
No more darkness
Only light
