Your hand meets my body

Slowly beating me into pain

You think it's a joke

That i don't mind

"Becuase i'd say something if it was too much"

Apparently you can't read me

You can't see my laugh is my mask

A way to hide the pain

You do this every day

And it doesn't get better

Every sick joke i make is combated with your fist

My back and gut reeling from your fists

But i laugh

And i noticed the concered faces of people walking by

But you don't

All you notice is the smile that barely makes its way on my face

My eyes don't' show what you see

Yet you repeatedly abuse me

I have a friend

Some would say she mentally abused me

And now i have you

Everyone would say this is physical abuse

But at least she apologized

Said our fights were stupid

Made me feel a little better about it

And you

You just walk into class

And i deny the tear slipping from my eye

I shake it off

And move along

Clutching my gut as i go far away

Lose myself in my mind

Try to get far away from you

I can feel the distance between us

Much larger than it used to be

Growing day by day

Hit by hit

And even though i'm going to your quince

I have the sickening feeling there'll be more of this

You call this us messing around

Others call this abuse
