The Line


Broken

Bruised

Beat down

Bullied

Over

And

Over

Again

Until you don’t get up

Whether it's because you can’t or won’t

They don’t care

As long as you stay down

They don’t care what their words do to you

They don’t care what demons they are releasing

The words that run rampant

Repeating in your head

They steal your breath

Until you are left begging for death

Death reaches out with boney hands 

Sending a shiver down your spine

Saying “you’ll soon be mine”

You walk the line
