Analysis of Subject Matter
I wish the walls weren’t so thin
So they could block out the noise
The voices in this house couldn’t be more resounding
But I’m not the subject so why does it matter?
They don’t shout at me
But I can still hear
Yelling
Crying
I’ve tried to tell them to quiet down
I can't focus on my chemistry
Or my thoughts
It’s not for my ears
But I can’t help it
These walls are too thin.
