Strike Me Down

Strike me down You are big And I am small You have all the power I have no control at all I see you raise your hand And it comes crashing down It is hard to put on a smile The only thing you will see is my frown I still feel the sting across my face When you wave your belt at me It sends a painful shudder down my back And you don't hear my plea I don't know what I did All I can do is ask why I am in fear for my life Do you like it when I cry Do you feel strong Is this my lot Did I do something Is it my fault Please stop the pain My life I do worry I don't want to hurt I am sorry I loved you Though it is not the same I wish I can leave I don't want to play this game It isn't fun I have the worse luck I wish I was done But I am stuck
