My skin
My skin is numb
From the belt and your hand
From the random thing you grab
From your anger
Am I going to survive?
That’s what I asked myself every time
If I talk too loud I bleed
If I laugh I get pain
If I’m happy I get destroyed
How can I win?
Everything I do makes you beat me
Your words hurt more than your fist
Your fist at least I didn’t feel
Eventually
It was just numb
Your words are just stuck there
Like the bruises
I know you hate me but
Please let me breathe
Please let me live
I promise I’ll do better
