Batter me.
Cut me
Bruise me
with those words
sharp as broken glass
tough as nails in concrete
and hard as stones;
used to kill.
Slur those words, and
start those tantrums
yell some more
take me down a peg
or two...
and feel better...
throw at me all of your anger,
frustration, and pain..
let those invisible strings
pull your heavy limbs
I can't feel it anymore
all of this verbal abuse
so just take it out on me
I'll be your punching bag.
