Darts

by Christina B (Virgo) - Not entered

I am nothing but a board
A dart board
That you continue
To throw darts at
That's all I am used for
Each dart has it's own, sharp, specific pain
Each time, the board weakens
And takes every dart
Without a fight
Just glad not to fall
If the board fell,
So would you
All your darts would be lost
Caught in the board
But the board would come back
Give you back your lost darts
Continue to take the pain
Never gaining the courage
To throw back
Some darts of my own.

Reason for writing:

    My best friend is constantly jokingly insluting me.  Each insult is a dart, and hurts me.  I am the dart board, because sometimes, I feel that is all I am used for.  Taking insults from people.
