I am an observer
I see all

I see when their sad
I see when their happy
I see when their mad

I am an observer
I know all

I know when they blink
I know what they think
I know when the scent is thick
I know when this will stick

This will stick with me for as long as I will be

I am an observer
I watch all

I watch the seams rip
I watch the crying kid
I watch what they did

I am an observer
I hear all

I hear the screams
I hear the help me’s
I hear the routines
I hear everything

I am behind the scenes

I am an observer
I follow all

I follow them into the kitchen
I follow and listen
I follow with precision

I am an observer
I am aware of all

I am aware of the things they speak
I am aware that she is weak
I am aware of the things he seeks
I am aware of the shrieks

I will forever be afraid

I see the I love you’s
I know about the fights and long nights
I watch the abuse
I hear the loud words they speak
I follow the things they do
I am aware they would never do this to me

So why am I scared
But I know they don’t care

This is my home
But I feel so alone

It is not my place
But there are many things that I want to say

For now though
I am an observer
