Still Alive
You’ve brought me down
So many times
I cannot believe
I am still alive
Stomping
Pushing
Biting
Every time I say a word
You punch me
And break my nose
But here I go again
Wishing for another beating
Following you
Like a dog
But, no
I can’t keep living like this
I the servant
You the master
This time I won’t let you
Bring me down
I’m fighting
You try to push me
Over the railing
I turn and see
The look of surprise on your face
As you feel
Yourself lose your grip
And begin to fall
I watch you
I hear the thump
Two flights of stairs down
I fell nothing but hate
No compassion,
No pity
I laugh out loud
I knew you’d get what you deserved
But I’m not done with you
And I throw myself
After you
And
I can feel the heat as I fall
