I punched myself in the face

For no reason I could fathom

Then turned to my friend and said

“Why’d you go and do that?”

“Whaddaya mean? You did it!”

“You made me with your stupidity

You nsfw me with your ugliness

You made me with you hateful ways”

And so it went for days and days

Until I screamed “fight back!

Are you a coward? Are you pathetic?

Hit me hit me hit me hit me”

“I can’t do that” frustratingly calm

“WHY OH WHY OH WHY OH WHY?”

“You’re hurting enough for two

And pain wants pain wants pain

It looks for targets nearby to blame

But the pain keeps rolling over you

And I won’t add to it but I’ll take it

If I can”
