Self Crucifixion

Time and time again I stumble,
Without a push,
No ill meaning foot in my path.
Just walking with my eyes shut.
I'll do it again.
Hang myself out on a barbed wire fence,
and try not to scream,
when they amuse themselves by pelting me with rocks.
Why do I set myself up so easily?
Paint a bullseye on my chest...
slightyl to the left.
It doesn't hurt so much after a while......
