This is me here I stand,
You’ve taken my heart and crushed it in your hand.
Your words hurt they beat me down.
With a smile you watch me drown.
In my blood you see me thrash,
Laying bets to when I’ll crash!
Beat me, slap me with your words
My mouth is taped, so my screams can’t be heard.
Cut me carve me it is nothing I have not done before .
Lost and wrecked on emotion’s shore.
Abuse me use me sate your need
Throw me off like an unwanted weed.
See my heart it’s wrent it in two
See it there on my sleeve for you.
No pride left I let it bleed dry
You don’t see the need within my eye.
There is not much more I can do
You tample on my soul, it’s black and blue
I stand here screaming silently
Bleeding need and blood constantly.
Hit me kick me just don’t look at my face,
No matter how hard I tried I’ve lost this race.
Here it comes the huge and vicious mouth
I can’t take any more I fall and stumble south.
Damn you damn you what can I do
To get respect or love from you.
Love okay it’s too late
Sorry, will not compensate
