How Much Can You Take?

Every blow I'll give you.
Every word I say you will hear.
Block out the words is useless for you.
Trying to run from it will only drive you back to me.

Your demons know your weakness.
You try and hide them in your dirt.
Your conscious is fading fast and slowly disappearing away.
It's only a matter of time before your final straw breaks.
You can't handle it. 
You know you can't.

Going through your days as if nothing's wrong.
Getting up with your shackles and walking the distance to try.
Stumbling and falling every few steps and being the fool to get back up.
All it does is show your weakness, just how much you bare.
No one can help you with it and yet you still show some sign of care to them.

Using you, chewing you up, and spitting you out.
Laughing at you behind your back.
Smiling like the idiot you are.
Calling you names and complementing with false praise.
Yet you still head back like the idiot you are.

You’ve learned once before what it means to try and make friends.
The little lioness venturing out of the safety of the norm.
You remember having your heart ripped out by those you thought close.
Seeing them sneer and lie at you to make themselves seem the right.
The times you let them put you in harms way just to get a laugh.

Little lioness, why do you try when you know in the end it’s only you that’s left?
Little pup why do you seek others when it’s others that don’t seek you?
Little mutt, why do you not remember that you are a mistake?
Little half breed, when will you learn?
Little Thing…..how much can you take?
