The truth: A poetic tribute to the abused


The Whole Truth

I want you to know,
that things have changed.
And I want you to know,
I feel your pain.
There are things in this world,
We can’t explain.
So I want you to know,
I won’t play this game.
I count on one hand,
The victims you’ve claimed.
But numbers aren’t numbers,
Numbers have names.
Number two died,
And all of us cried.
And one, three and four,
Well, we lied.
You knew that with pain,
that we would be tame.
But you missed just one,
And this one is done.
But how can it be?
How did you miss me?
You never did bet,
That I would run free.
I’m out of your grasp,
Like one, three and four,
And two we will mourn,
forever and more.

Love Shouldn't Hurt Like That.

It takes a lot to love a person.
It's inconvenient,
and painful.
No matter what.
BUT...
Turns out
it's usually worth it
because while that love gets in your way and sometimes hurts,
it still makes your day when
you know that they're thinking about you
and can't wait to see you later
and you can tell them all about your day...
However,
what happens when someone you love
starts hurting you too much?
When the person you adore
and thought adored you
no longer shares their day with you,
or calls just to say they love you,
or leaves a bruise...
It's really hard to admit it sometimes
when a relationship that used to be amazing
has lost its love.
When someone physically hurts you,
it's not love.
They didn't just"lose their cool".
They say they'll never ever do it again.
False.
You have the new bruise to prove it.
And even if it did only happen once,
statistics show that won't be the only time,
and why would you want to risk that?
Why risk your heart
and your body
and your spirit
to that kind of abuse?
You are so much better.
You're worth all the love in the world
and you should try to find it,
far away from a person who hurts you.
Because you won't find it there.
They don't love you.
And you don't need them.
Many will love you
and will never do anything
but try to make you smile.
That's where you want to be.
With that person.
It's not impossible to find them.
It only takes time.
Don't stay with an abuser.
Love yourself.
You're incredible.
You're strong.
You are in control of your own life.
Find support and love
and use your strength.
You're worth it
and everyone who loves you
thinks so too.
Always here for you.
Love,
Bee.
