I want you to beat me with a bat.
I want you to break my bones.
You have to take a limb,
A dominant one, obviously.
I want to be hospitalized for months,
And when I'm deemed "healed"
I want it to be obvious
That I struggle daily
With the loss of a part of me
I thought I could always rely on.
I want to go to work
And act like everything is okay,
But lose my job anyway,
Because my performance, just isn't the same.
I want to fall,
And need your hand to get back up.
I want you to see on the outside-
The debilitation I feel inside,
So you can understand
And with heart instead of hand
Help me to my feet again.
