These hollow walls don't block the sounds
They magnify the cries
Coming from the next room
Echoing loud

As if ping pong balls ricocheting off the wall
I can't muffle it
But I wanna suppress the horrors
Of the screams of my mother

Being tortured by a monster
And I'm too young to stop it
So I sit in this corner afraid
Just wishing

That when I grow to be older
I have the strength to fight
Protect her from those demons
That disguise themselves as good

But only wanna inflict carnage
I'm her guardian angel
And I'll walk through the gates of hell
To face Satan himself if he attempts to do harm

I may die in my rage
But at least I stood for love
Instead of dying for nothing
Defending the creator that gave me life

And I'll do it twice
Before I let another lonely tear
Fall from her face
I love you too much to look away

So with every fabric of my being
Every breath that I take
I'll give my all to look after you
For you've made who I am today.

* I shed tears writing this. For this poem is personal I watched things no kid should see but through it all my mom taught me how to be strong and persevere. I love her with all my heart and I'll always be her protector.
