Kick me, prick me, trick me
Do all the sick things in your head
Attack, stab or jab me
Or just hunt me down instead
Shoot me and gun me down too
Until my blood mixes with the rain
Do whatever you want to do
But I’m going to stand up again
…
Strangle me, manhandle me
Ban my work for all I care
End, bend and offend me
Treat me unjust and unfair
Lock, block and mock me too
Let all my efforts be in vain
Do whatever you wish to do
But I’m going to stand up again
…
Beat me, cheat me, defeat me
Judge me with your worst
Jail, tail, fail or nail me
Blow me up and watch me burst
Chain me up and whip me too
Till I cry out in pain
Do whatever you have to do
But I’m going to stand up again
Great stuff! Intense and empowering 🙂

This is very, very good, one of your best yet ,but I think it is song lyrics rather than a poem…and lyrics for a very powerful song at that.

Yes. It’s more of a song. Because it is inspired by one. If you ever hear Bob Dylan’s ‘All I really want to do’ then this would pale in comparison
