I Bit the Hand

I bit the hand, That fed me, That helped me through, My early years. Then again. I bit the hand, That hit me, That sent me reeling, Into inner hell. I bit the hand, That loved me, That cared for me, When I was young. Then again. I bit the hand, That hated me, And filled me with, A lonely disease. I bit the hand, Then it bit me. I kissed the hand, And then it hit me.
