pain

you cause me so much pain,
it's like dancing atop of glass,
my tears fall down like rain,
cuz you have knuckles hard like brass.

you throw me around,
you push me to the ground,
you hit me up,
and you hit me down.

i beg you stop,
i try to crawl away,
you drop your hand,
and beg for me to stay.

i'm through with you,
and all you do,
i'll find someone,
someone new.

It is very hard to break out of a prison that has no bars, but it has to be done, the creature that does things that you talk of belongs in their own place an eternal ring where they need to fight for everything. A great write and hope that in doing so helped others and mainly You, Yours Ian.T
