The Punching Bag

A Poem

By Angel AdagioPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

You and I are the same,

we get beaten up for pleasure.

We are hung by a rope or a chain,

dangling in the air waiting for every punch to be the last,

until it keeps repeating endlessly and soon enough we break.

Then we are replaced without a second thought,

our corpse is then destroyed and placed within a shiny new one,

not knowing the memories of its insides being beaten down to a pulp.

The cycle continues.

We are used, abused, broken, and restored over and over again.

All for the pleasure of others.

Who knew a human and a punching bag could be one in the same.
