I beg you please don't hit me
I won't do it again
I never meant to do it
Like me, it just happened
I never meant to break it
To shatter it into a thousand parts
It wasn't meant to be so brittle
But it was cracked from the start
I beg you please don't hurt me
I can't let you see me cry
Over the broken and the useless
Strike the object you despise
Just like so many others
Discarded and cast aside
The beaten and the broken
Can only hide inside
I beg you please just stop it
I can't take it anymore
One more smack will do it
I'll walk out that door
I'll hurt myself to hurt you
I'll kill me so you die
I beg you please don't do it
You may not Love me
But Please try

Wow, such powerful writing. I loved it, even if it isn't from personal experience, it still had alot of emotion in the lines: 'To shatter it into a thousand parts
It wasn't meant to be so brittle
But it was cracked from the start'
A wonderful write, best of luck
