Punch me as hard as you can
Swing it around and knock me out
leave me bleeding on the ground

This is the war that we are fighting
I don't need no better lighting to see the enemy is me

Kill the fake being shoved inside
by making me puke and bleed out my eyes
so here is my broken and bloody smile
to let you know
you didn't hit hard enough.

The author's comments:
I was really thinking about the movie/book "Fight Club" when I wrote this poem. I identify with the looking-for-pain-and-the-truth thing, so I felt that this poem really expressed what I was feeling.
