The mother is hysterical
Out of control
Her malevolent alter ego
Has taken momentary possession of her soul
She’s shouting obscenities
Her shrill voice echoes
In the hollowed unfurnished room
The scene is all too familiar
But every time it evokes fear
Of the impending doom
*Clash*
She smashes a glass
Shards scatter across the floor
She storms off and slams the door
The father speaks to her patiently
Firmly
Tries to reason with her
To make her see sense
Convinces her to not take offence
At every action
To not be suspicious
Of everyone’s intention
When she accuses him of unspeakable things
He loses his composure
Raises his voice,
His hand,
BUT stops midway
He can’t do it
He walks away
The boy walks down
A flight of stairs
Out of the house
Away from the chaos
His mother’s loud monologue
Faints, as he moves farther
His eyes brim with tears
His limbs collapse
Perhaps,
He’s better off on his own
He cannot live any further
With his mentally unstable mother
