She smiles, jumping around excitedly
\"Calm down\" they say
Two words.
Two words she hears everyday
Two words that make her break
Why can\'t I be me? She thinks as she sits in the bare silence of what was once nothing but her excitement
Is it something wrong with me? Their voices infiltrate her head, deafening her own and the things she once would have said
\"Whyre you so quiet and boring?\"
It stabs like a knife
I thought this is what they wanted from me
A quiet and obedient life
The wound grows bigger
Her feelings become uncontrollable
They were always so much bigger then her
She screams out in anger
\"Calm down!\" They yell
This time she bubbles over, rage bursting out the seams of her soul
\"Fine.\" She says calmly
Because what is the point of trying to make her voice heard if she will just hear \"calm down\" after every. little. word.
