Slap, Rips and Stops

Fri, 05/29/2015 - 02:25 -- kirch

You slap my books

You slap my faith

You slap my apperance

You slap my family

You slap my life and you slap me

You slap me around and I can't handle it any more.

Stop

STOP.

STOP!

I cry out and finally someone hears

They join in

Rip my hard work

Rip my self-esteem

Rip away my happiness

Rip my skin

You work together and I can't handle it anymore.

Stop

STOP.

STOP!

I cry out and finally someone hears

They protect me from the slaps and rips

They tear you down untill you are human again

They are my savior

And they are yours too
