he threw a fit,
clenching his teeth,
pulling his ginger locks,

stop shouting!
stop smashing windows!
stop screaming into oblivion!"
his father screamed at him.
"stop.
stop being like...

stop being blind."

he was crying.
but, he
couldn't.
he couldn't just
stop.
and the reality cut
deeper.
deeper,
deeper
than any knife could.
