I don’t get hurt enough

Introduction :

Sometimes pain is all you can feel.

It seem endless.

But you are stronger than you assume yourself to be. The world and the brutal people in it can try to hurt to repeatedly but if you realize your own resilience then no amount of hurt will not hinder you.

“I don’t get hurt enough”

Lights are flickering-dark and bright-over the muffled din,
Wind is poking the goosebumps on my skin.
The sun has long since refused to show up,
I can’t seem to find anything to cheer me up.

But all this is not enough for the devils
Their appetite for hurt is not satisfied still.
They strike again after little time passes by.
I swear they won’t stop until I die.

They just attack again and again
Because I don’t get hurt enough.

But I’m not gonna ask “Why is it always me?”
I’m gonna say “Come again. Try me!”
They can throw all the stones and bricks they want to
But I’m strong too.
I can still defend my fort very well,
I can still break each of their cells.
No matter how hard they try, they will fail and huff
Because I don’t get hurt enough.
