#6

Stab me in the back to see if I bleed.

Stab me in the heart out of curiosity.

Rip out my soul to see if it’s there.

Hurt me all you want I truly don’t care.

What will happen?

If I don’t bleed

If I’m not hurt

If it’s not there

Do you think I am a lifeless machine?

Oh honey, I’m like nothing you’ve ever seen.
