Great!
Mum thinks in Psycho
Maybe I am
maybe I'm mad!
Maybe they should send me to some mad house
like an asylum.
I shake the thought away.
I'm not mad I tell myself
ᗷᑌT ᗩᖇE YOᑌ?
A voice from my head comes
No!
No!
No!
OᑎᒪY ᗰᗩᗪ ᑭEOᑭᒪE TᗩᒪK TO TᕼEᗰᔕEᒪᐯEᔕ
No!
No!
I think
I collapse and fall into a table.
I knock the chair over
which wobbles a tiny spider hanging off a little shiny peace of string off the chair.
I get up but not before dad has burst through the door
"What in the hell?", he yells
His breath smells sour
His eyes
Tired
He looks angry
Angry
angry at me
For disrupting him
"I was working!", he bellows
I cant help but snort
Yes
of course
he was "Working".
"whats so funny?!", he yells
I shake my head.
But I can tell he's  not taking it
Suddenly I make a snort
as I try to not laugh
Slap!
A sharp pain comes across the cheek
Dad has slapped me
"You stupid brat!", he screams at the top of his lungs
I look at him
I suddenly feel like a five year old again
helplessly dragging myself away
He leaves the room
I start to cry
And cry
and cry
cry
cry
cry
cry
and cry....
