This is Listening to my sister sob in the next room This is Flinching at every noise I hear through my door This is Watching YouTube on my computer, mouse hovering over the X on the screen, ready to hide This is Heart-pounding, fight-or-flight-inducing terror This is Mind racing, preparing excuses in my head for any possible attack This is Counting the minutes until I can escape This is A normal Sunday in the redacted house
