Why Do I Hit You So

Razor's edge makes lines on the mirror Bullet in the barrel tantalizes Adrenaline rushes Euphoria beckons Grace reaches out Always reaches out But can you feel it? No food on the table No money in the bank Eviction notice on the door What am I here for? Grace reaches out Always reaches out But will you receive it? Whiskey bottle hasn't been touched Explosives strapped to your chest You walk into that crowded place Handgun, loaded in pocket, just in case Grace reaches out Always reaches out But do you get it? Can you feel it? Will you receive it? Do you get it? Why do I hit you so hard? Adrenaline rushes Straw snorts Euphoria beckons Pull that trigger Release that bullet What will you feel As it passes through your brain? Why do I hit you so hard? Always reaches out Grace does.

Uwe WOW This is a powerful and emotional write. Every line is filled with anger and frustration that the reader can feel coming from way down deep inside. Nice job
