A punch
A kick
A sway
A diss
"Dumbass"
"Worthless"
"Stupid"
Throw a shield up
Think the words are gone
But no, they merely planted themselves deeper into the mind
One punch here
One punch there
A kick to the ribs there
And don't forget the other side too
Diss, slap, diss, diss, slap, sway, diss, slap, kick, diss, punch, diss, punch, diss, slap, diss, diss, slap, sway, diss, slap, kick, diss, punch, diss, punch, sway, stop, stop, stop, stop
Then it all stopped
Grow sober and the abuse stops
But the memories don't
They just become repressed
Waiting for the best time to uncover itself
Like a time bomb
Hope the abuse stops someday soon
