I ask too many questions.

That is a problem.

But I never raise my hand in class.

I don’t understand what’s going on at home.

My siblings days are a mystery to me.

And a question takes the opportunity to destroy

The conversation.

“Will what I say be wrong?”

“Will they hate me if it is wrong?”

They boil in my head

To the point

Of burning myself.

I don’t know how to get out.

I want to not want the answers.

I need
