Keep Watching

Belligerent screams
tear through the glass,
like chalkboards
and broken fingernails
screeching, bleeding
into my mind.

Make it stop!
my silent cry
as if the force of my will
could reflect the horror
send it howling
with vengence and rage
back to feast upon its owner.

The pain lasts but a moment
and leaves me angry
and vandalized
my peace of mind
ripped away,
stolen and soiled
then returned incomplete
pieces missing,
shoddy workmanship
covered with a shiny new coat of ignorance.
