that was my stepmother's favorite thing to call me when I was a kid lol
they always said
i was a glutton for
punishment

how could you tell
was it
something i said
that drew you in
to make me pay
for all my sins

every time i try to sleep i see the
disdain in your eyes
hear the loudness
of your silence
feel the tears i never weep

I'm a glutton
for punishment baby
spend your rage on me
i'll never cave
sticks and stones
may break my bones
but you'll never see me
cry
