Glutton for Punishment
I am not a poet, but I do write poems for class, when I have to.
I have oft thrown myself against hard rock
Trying to find out if I can feel it
Never once have I stopped to a heed a thought
My actions were not really needed
I’ve spent my whole life trying to find ways
To convince myself I’m still breathing
Never once have I in all my days
Found out what I really was seeking
It is sad but it’s true this I know
Here’s a habit I never will break
Til’ the bruises at once start to show
It’s too much for a body to take
So as long as my nature demands
I’ll fight my demons with my bare hands
