The yells and taunts
Hurt my ears
Their harsh sound leaves a burning,
Within my heart
Cower and flee,
Away from these words
For, no happiness shall they bring
They raise their sword-
In triumph,
Victory is theirs
And only for them to see the pain
Lingering in thee
They dance in battle
Full of unnecessary taunts and teases
You throw your sword eagerly
But reckless are you, my friend
Do you think that your tricks-
And blows
Have not been used before?
By you must I mention
The words play a record
Over and over again-
Do they play
My wall broken long ago,
Leaving my soul unprotected
Has caused a shell of me,
To be left behind
But what is left of me
Has already felt the blow
Of these words
So only do memories of pain-
Do they bring
The new taunts
Hurt the most
For, they bring new pain
This pain,
These blows
I have not already felt
New pain do they bring
New sadness do they bring
New hatred to they bring
But happiness do they take.
