Stop Fighting, Please.

Fight, fight, fight.
Is that all you ever do?
I got tired of it at 3
so please stop.

All around me
people fighting.
Is this a sign?

Scream
shout
all you can.
I will not join in.

I refuse.

No confrontation
for me

I am just a child
Can’t you see?

Maybe if you stopped
and looked at me

Stop it!
Stop it now!
Can’t you see my tears
rolling down my checks?

Can’t you feel my heartbeat
from the other side of my room?

See me cower
in fear

Run away

Stop it
Stop it please!
If not for you...

...for the sake of me.
