Civil War
April 19, 2023
Civil War
I’ll wave my white flag
Wandering through the crossfire
Dodging bullets
But sometimes I am hit
A pain in my my side grows
The red blood seeps through my clothes
Drenching my shirt with a silvery smell
I am hit with bullets from my own side
Hit with friendly fire
Hit with words that smear my face with blood
This war lives within my own home
A civil war between two sides
Both I want to love
But I’ve learned to know better
Than to trust someone
Who I know will shoot again

This is about my parents, more specifically my dad. I feel like he wants to tel me that he’s on my side when in reality he’s the one shooting back at me
