The Punching Bag
I hang here on a chain dangling fowards and backwards
I am the punching bag
Harder than a pillow, safer than a board
Punch me when you're mad, punch me when you're bored
Release your anger and anything else you have stored
I'll just tighten my insides and clench my teeth
As all this pain and punishment I absorb
Knock my happiness away and relieve yourself, you theif
Crunched up and folded
This was a productive beating
My material and innards have almost eroded
I dangle forwards and backwards dreading our next meeting.
