Hit Me, Go Ahead

throw me down
then grab me up 
shake me violently 

twist my arm
and punch my gut 
hit me until i’m free 

of this pain 
that brings sharp rain
and bruises where you can’t see 


of this heartache 
and this heartbreak 
that stones the rest of me 

kick me while i’m down 
hurt me at your own will 
then maybe just maybe 
there will be something else i’ll feel
