Teddy Bear And Me

I sat on the stairs with the war in my head
The war in the kitchen below, and the war in the air
I heard them scream with glass breaking
Curses flying out like they were holy
Just my teddy bear and me
I sat on the stairs when they spoke my name
Telling each other about my ways
The loudest whispers I might ever hear
All in the kitchen with the see through mirror
Just my teddy bear and me
I sat on the stairs when they yelled in my face
I couldn't fold the towel properly, I'm sorry I left the glass half empty
The shouts could have been a slap to the face, it always felt the same
Just my teddy bear and me
Now I'm 17 with no stairs left to sit
Finally free, with a feeling that sticks
Just my teddy bear and me, alone in this pit
