The wall

Smack

The ground

Smack

Myself 

Smack

Does the world not know the sound

Of the sound of a personal beat down

Look at me

I'm hurting myself

Smack, crash, burn

The eyes of the weary glance over me

Some snicker at the bruises left at the beating

Laying there in a pool of blood

Do I realize I'm the only one

Who knows my own pain

That's unfortunate

God this sucks

Just take it away

This life, the noise

It's such a pain

But on the moment I trickle my feet

Do I finally find one that meets

An equal standard to me

I take the hand and prance the dance

For now I'm happy

That I am

The eyes meet and the beating begins

Transferring my pity

To the others I plan

This sick plan will not stand

But for now it is all I have
