June 15, 2010
Take all of it, away from me,
Then trample the remainder too.
To try my soul is your delight
And to tax is your vocation.
Tenacious in the ring I fight,
My viewers boo to see me rise,
I do not have a way to tear
The talons from plowing my skin.
Existence met me with a dare,
Inception found me surrounded,
Bare hands betray—I have no friends
That deign to search the bleeding veil.
Tortured per man’s caprices
I rain and fall; my bones will fail;
Trying to scream, I wish to die,
But this body was never mine.
