anguished
|
I wish I could stand here and boast
But not, for I am the whipping post
Said so many times, it is old hat
It is me, the proverbial doormat
You are the hammer, I am the nail
Bumps and bruises, put away and filed
I have been beaten like the red-headed step child
People have grabbed the dagger and fired in deep
Me, I just stand there and weep
You are the hammer, I am the nail
Been called so many names, it's downright insane
I know I will be the brunt of a profane laced tirade
If one day, I'm acting quite odd
You'll know my smiles are a facade
You are the hammer, I am the nail
Been assaulted so many times, there is not much that I fear
Allow me to sit here and be perfectly clear
Been hurt so many times, I've lost energy to hate
I've worn the mask long enough, it has become my face
You are the hammer I am the nail

| To be bashed, either physically or metaphorically, and become numb to the hurt, is an absolute tragedy. You express the despair of such in grand poetic style. |

I know I will be the brunt of a profane laced tirade...

This poem is emotive and relatable. Good job on this one.
