they come to hurt you
and you allow pain to
penetrate you
you grieve for a while
to your helplessness
blame yourself
blame the world
they come to hurt you
again and again
and pain at last has
no more meaning
you take your revenge
you show them your numbness
you expose your palm
you show them your body
so they may hurt you some more
someday they will find you
with your new skin your new frame of mind
unshattered
unbeaten
unbowing
then they will ask you your name
and then they will know how you managed to smile
and live like nothing happened
you have redeemed what they have destroyed
you win.
