Overdrive

I've been prodded and been poked
Pushed and pulled and then provoked
Hounded each and everyday
Seemingly each and everyway

Been dismissed without respite
Skipped the bark received the bite
Kicked and trashed upon the floor
Full onslaught my body bore

Had all memory erased
Skip the plot cut to the chase
Sensing the walls are closing in
Seeking an exit way again

Idly dismissed without a case
Thrown out while standing safe on base
Judge smiled so condescendingly
This time there won't be no jury

Empty pockets naked mast
Endless sea shapeless and vast
Bait my feeble line and cast
Stretch it out to make it last

But I'm digging in my heels
Fighting for what I know is real
And if you'd care to throw it down
Be forewarned I'm duty bound

Note that my eyes are curtain-veiled
Peek behind them if you dare
Fire brimstone nostril flare
If looks could kill then see my glare
